Cask, third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast Bar. Bubbles to the rim of the surface. bright golden body, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of lemony hops. Mixed fruity flavours of lemon and pineapple. Welcome fruity bitterness to the finish. Pleasing. (Day 3 of the festival, 24.01.2020).

Cask @ The Pub, Todmorden. Has this the week before finding the Maple edition and the Manchester Beer Festival and thought this version better in comparison. Dark creamy-bubbly off-white head and a chocolate heavy nose, with a crisper lesser chocolate roasted taste.

Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Enjoyed the ordinary version the week before, didn't find much of a difference other than it being mildly sweeter! Still good though.

Tight creamy tan head stayed on a near black still body. Roasted, nutty & faint smoky aroma. Medium bodied, smooth to the fore with a well carbonated back & cloying aft. Dark chocolate, make, nut, roast, tobacco, berry & mild spice tastes with a pleasantly pepper finish. Loving it!
