Cask @ Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes. Darkest purple/brown, perfect and sizeable tan head. The aroma is not particularly forthcoming; but a robust sniff yields coal, chalk, liquorice and dried berries. Taste is slight as well, with bittersweet competing with sour. Sourish finish. Nice enough but difficult to get excited about.

Cask @ Stick or Twist, Leeds. Very dark with a thin off-white head. Roasted malts are itching to get out of this one and whilst there’s a few in the nose it’s a crisper subdued taste and a touch thin.

Cask handpull at Westgate Spoons Canterbury. Black beer lasting tan head. Ok chocolate. Good condition. Not much hop. It’s a plain stout. Uninteresting.

Cask at Willow Walk. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, toast, roasted malt, charcoal and cocoa. The taste is toasty, roast, mild acidity, coffee, earth, charred wood and some plummy dark fruits. Medium body and soft carbonation. Well rounded and drinkable stuff.
