(Cask at Edgar Wallace, Aldwych, London, 21 Apr 2015) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Fruity, roasted nose with raisins, prunes, chocolate and citrus. Fruity, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, dried fruit, citrus and a mild bitterness. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Slightly citric and a bit different. Quite nice.

500ml bottle thanks to AshtonMcCobb. Near-gusher. Probably infection. Clear enough copper pours, massive bubbly off-white head. Aromas of sherbet, lemon, touch sour. Gets right up my nose! Not in a good way. Taste is green apples and astringent malt. Shame, probably was a decent beer underneath.

Bottle from Crafty Pint. Appearance - very lively, golden with a massive head. Nose - slightly too sherbety, yeast infection. Lemon pith but sherbet too. Taste - green apple, then stewed apple, definitely infected. Palate - Overall - a shame, it was probably a good beer.
