Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a small tan head. There’s roasted malts and oats in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity with a creamy texture. Flavour has oats, chocolate and roasted malts with a fair proportion of dark fruits coming through later leading to a fruity and slightly sweet finish. This is rather nice.

Loose white head left a froth on a turbid vivid golden coloured body. Pulped orange & zesty aroma. Medium to full bodied, foamy & dry. Orange, grapefruit, zesty & white wine tastes with an extremely bitterly hopped finish. Banger.
