Cask by stillage at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 21st February 2026. Intensely dark sepia brown with pale tan foam and scant lacing. Rich coffee roast malt aroma. Coffees, dark chocolates and mildly herbal notes in-mouth. A finish of bittersweet roastiness- dark chocolate and coffee - and some lasting peppery spice. Light bodied with a smooth yet engaging mouthfeel. A lot happening in this finely crafted mild.

Keg draught at Seasons, Buxton. Very light gold, hazy with a small swirl of white head. Light aroma, fresh grass, lime, perhaps a touch of savoury herb. Lovely taste, sweet but not too much, with a touch of dry bitterness nearcthe finish. Notes of Asti, lime juice, underripe satsuma. The body is gentle with spritzy carbonation. I'm impressed.

Keg at Coach & Horses, Soho. Dark cola.brown. Foamy beige head. Aroma has light coffee. Flavourwise there is initial sour berries and coffees and that's kinda it. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. OK.
