Can at Dad's. He liked it when I bought it. This reminded me of the good old days of Neck Oil - easy drinking and good hop profile. (27/12/22) --- Same conditions. Light haze. Good for the abv. 3.6 to 3.4.

Keg at BD Waterloo, 20/10/22. Black with a good sized khaki covering that veers to a swirl. Nose is chocolate, molasses, herb, spice, dried fruits. Taste comprises chocolate, fruit slice, herb, liquorice, charr, mellow roast, sticky toffee pudding. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising kiss of alcohol. Not bad but lacking depth for the hefty ABV.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Light yellow, hazy with a ring of white head. Sweet creamy aroma with notes of lemon meringue and gooseberry Fool. Sweet taste with a balancing bitter hop, although all and all this is a sweet beer. Juicy white grape and soft citrus in the aftertaste. Flat oily body. Lush.
gave a cheers!

Handpull cask at the Rock nr Whitwick, Coalville as part of their 'From Sussex with Love' Festival, July 2022. Brownish black, opaque with a creamy khaki head. Liquorice, ash, some bitter chocolate. Bitter-sour and slightly herbal taste with some treacle and Marmite in the finish. Not bad but a bit messy.

Gravity cask at the Rock Bar and Cafe, near Whitwick, Coalville. Part of their 'From Sussex with Love' festival, July 2022. Brownish gold and clear with no head. Malty and toffee aroma with berry notes, orange peel and hay. Sweet taste with caramel to the fore and well-judged bitterness in the finish. Oily, flat body. A very well-made bitter.
