Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 11/12/09. Dark brown with a hint of ruby and slight tan head. Aroma of liquorice, dark chocolate and fruit, with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavour was rich and slightly sweet, with a christmas pudding mix of fruit, nuts and spice, more liquorice and bitter finish. A very enjoyable Christmas beer.

Bottle conditioned from Centurion Vintners, Stroud. Lively pour with a big, off-white head. Dark brown in colour with reddish undertones. Fruitcake and dark chocolate aroma with a hint of earthy roastiness. Full mouth feel, with more fruit and chocolate, a cereal edge and a decent bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole Inn, Aylesbury, Bucks 09-09-09 Pours warm gold with a thin white head. There is a lovely beery and bitter aroma with hops and malts presenting themselves. The taste is both malty and hoppy with ripples of citrus and a dab of honey, very nice beer.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 09. Black,dark brown edges, thin beige head. Meaty stouty aroma. OK in mouth, bit of dry roastyness. Drinkable stout. Quite pleasant. It’s fine. Not very thick in mouth, but does the job.

An easy stout with a complexity of dark malts. Near black with a decent tan head that left plenty of lacing. As the brewer’s description suggests, this was easy and light with some roasted malts and dark fruit, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
