Cask-conditioned at the Victoria, Clifton, Bristol 21/05/09. Reddish bronze in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of red fruits and caramel with a herbal edge. Flavour was sweet, with a cereal, bran flake edge and short, fruity finish. Ok.

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.
