Cask at Creaky Floorboard, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy tan head and good lacing. The aroma has roasted malts and oats plus hints of lactose. In the mouth it is rich, smooth and creamy. Flavour to start is roasted malts, chocolate and treacle. Later old English spangles, liquorice and hints of coffee bitterness come through as well. Finish is quite bitter. This is absolutely gorgeous !

Cask at The Finch Hatton in Ewersby. One of those light ales you can just keep chugging. I had at least three and enjoyed each one. Nice grassy citrus and enough moreish bitterness.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Jet black body, bubbly beige head, clingy lacing. The aroma is quite inviting with mid-sweet chocolate malts. Prominent taste of almond, marzipan, and chocolate. Drying close, sweet. A bit thin on the swallow. Fair enough. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).
