27/6/2024. Cask at The Pilot of Mumbles. Pours clear very dark mahogany brown with a lasting creamy beige head. Good pour. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruits, liquorice, ash. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Moderate body, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Very nice, easily one of the best beers I’ve had on the trip.

27/6/2024. Cask at The Pilot of Mumbles. Pours clear bright golden amber with a small lasting creamy white head. Good looking beer. Aroma is malty, caramel, flowery, citrus, straw. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Quite nicely done, and better than it was pre-covid judging by those ratings.
