Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at Cornubia. Almost black body, upper part lacing, naked black surface. Earth and chocolate on the nose. Mixed taste of chocolate malts, dark berries and dark fruits. Rather sweet malt-accented ending. Smooth on the swallow. Pleasing. (Bristol 29.04.2017).

Gravity cask at the Walsall CAMRA festival 2017. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, woody resin hop, light fruit. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a smooth rich, fruity light alcohol, big hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a smooth grainy mineral, cardboard, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Not very inspiring.

Cask pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire on 24th Feb 2017. Clean amber pour, white head with lacing. Do not know if the recipe has changed, but this was caramel heavy in both the aroma and taste, toffee esters in the nose too. Not as sweet as the aroma indicated but still very malty and semi-sweet in nature. Hops try to balance out the malty molasses, but do not quite make it. My sweet tooth loved it.
