Cask, handpump at The Old Oak, Horsley Woodhouse, Derbyshire 29-01-10 Pours almost black with an off-white head. There is a little coffee on the nose and its got a nice rosty maltiness. Taste is very good a combination of roastiness and spent coffee grains with measured but lengthy bitterness. The coffee hangs for a while but through it all there is a hoppiness that clings to the roof of the mouth with the coffee. Nice stuff. A6 A4 F8 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask-conditioned at the Bag OโNails, Bristol 22/11/09. Well, the previous review summed this one up perfectly. Deep brownish red in colour with a decent off-white head. Bitter or mild, I donโt know, but this had plenty of fruit, sweet caramel, some chocolate and a decent bitter finish. Lots of character and very drinkable.

Cask, one-half pint bought at Bar Nouveau, GBBF 09. Dark amber body with a few floaters on the surface. Grain-fruity aroma. Lighter taste of hoppy fruits with a dry hopped ending. Medium to thin bodied. Nice and easy drinking without being great in any way (London, Earls Court 05.08.2009).
