Cask Near-black brown ale, B.D."H.". A bit sulphury nose, and malt colouring. Rest are probably less coloured malts. Dry, hayish malt nose, with some completely fermented-out molasses or other sugar. Some esters, and dry, tannine-like flavours, especially on the lingual surfaces of the incisors. Medium to will-bodied, dry-out effect (tannines). Pretty complex beer, but just not uplifting enough to be really great.

Bottle from Waitrose. Crystal clear chestnut colour with an off-white head; malty, fruity, aroma; very well balanced, slightly sweet with a bitter edge. A lovely pint.

Cask condition, handpull at Simple Simon’s, Canterbury. Very dark ruby, no head. Is it supposed to be this sour? The it warms up and this lovely dark fruit flavour comes out. Not huge hop, some dryness on end. Some liquorice and a bit of roasted malt with choc and coffee, but the dark fruits dominate.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Medium sized mocha head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Raisins, figs, apricots and roasted nuts. Sticky sweet rotting banana peel turning slightly bitter for a lasting aspirin finish...but in a way...

Bottle. Dark reddish, can smell the caramel even as you pour the beer. Just unique taste as the way through. Surprise sour taste at the end.
