November 2016: Cask half pint at The Market Porter, Borough. Dark copper colour, small off-white head. Moderate malty aroma. Earthy and surprisingly roasty dry flavour, not bad, but not quite my cup of tea.

Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Mostly clear gold with a decent lasting white froth. Light sweet lemon and orange, bit of floral herb, on top of sweet buttery biscuit malt. Some sweetness here but it’s also nicely bitter and crisp. Light body with fine brisk carbonation. Herbal floral citrus bitterness to finish. Good hote golde.

Pours a clear mahogany brown colour with a small creamy, lasting, beige head. Aroma is coffee, light roasted dark malts, with a light char note. A sweetish and light roasted malt taste, dark roasted malt, brown bread, coffee, and chocolate flavours with a light sweet roasted finish.

500ml bottle from, I believe, Hops and Craft, Exeter. Drunk after a ride with Soph around the Stiperstones. Pours a cola brown, not much of a head and what is there doesn't stick around, no lacing. Aroma has hearty dark malt and toffee. Flavour profile has pleasant chocolate malt and soft roast with a gentle chocolate sweetness coursing through, modest roast with a hoppy bitter finish. Medium to light bodied. Simple, light quencher, enjoyed it.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 20 Nov 2023) Reddish amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dark fruit and toast. Malty taste with caramel, apricot marmalade, red fruit and a mild earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Well balanced bitter. Quite nice.

Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma, plus hints of cola and coffee. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with a smoky texture. Roast malts and coffee hit the taste buds first, but liquorice then overpowers them. Hints of dandelion and burdock also. Some bitterness in the dry finish. This is a decent all round stout.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 27/11/2023. Deep amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Caramel, red berries, some autumnal toastiness, crisp malts before a moderately bitter finish. An enjoyable seasonal beer.
