Gravity cask at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2017. Very dark brown and translucent with a tonsure of khaki head. Smells of oak with some liquorice and stone fruit. Taste is far too sweet but I’m mollified by the spicy hop and smoky liquorice which usher in the finish. Still there’s an artifice milky sweetness - like a chocolate milk drink - in the aftertaste. A tough one to rate as it is such a mixed bag.

Bottle from Russell & Newnes off-licence, Aldeburgh High Street. Pours slightly hazy amber brown with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma is fruity, caramel, malt. Medium sweetness, lighter bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, quite high carbonation. Good brew, aside from being bit too fizzy.
