Cask at Bear & Billet, Chester. Pours pale straw with a medium sized almost white head and good lacing. Floral hops to the fore in the aroms, plus traces of stone fruit. In the mouth it is sweet and quite juicy, but with some underlying bitterness that gradually increases. Hints of citrus and bread rolls but it’s mainly floral hops which ctach the taste buds. It’s reasonable.

Can. Amber with a fat coat of off white head. Aroma of light bread, some berries, citrus, spices. A bit watery. Light bready malt with some berries and hints of peach. Citrus gets a bit lost but the finish is spicy and moderately bitter. OK.

440ml can. Pours a clear dark brown with red hue and a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel, chocolate, earth and light spice. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, raisin, plum and light spice in a sweet finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Malt forward and tasty.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color beige che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca, pane tostato e agrumi.
