Gravity dispensed, my second at the town centre Hop In, in the pretty enough town of North Walsham. Near black with a light-brown head. Full of chocolate and roasted notes in both aroma and taste without being dense. It's very drinkable.

Cask at the clifftop Red Lion in Cromer. Clear golden with a smallish head. Hoppy with very light fruits, which struggle against a more dominant bitterness.

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of roasted malts, ash, biscuits, bourbon biscuit and fruits. Slightly carbonated, ashy notes and plum comes through in the taste. Only downside is it was slightly watery, otherwise very good.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma is very herbal and grassy with a touch of cardboard. Not a lot to the taste with minimal carbonation. Easy to drink but not memorable and not the best.
