Cask @ Bedford Arms, Bedford. Incredibly dark brown. Considerable tan head with dissipates quickly. Considerable lacing. Scent of coffee, chocolate and rich tea biscuit. Taste is not what I expected: sweet/sour fading to bitter, then a dry finish. Unfortunate aftertaste knocks this down about 0.5. All in all good though, like an Irish stout, full bodied, complex and assertive.

Cask at the Watford Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear dark golden colour with a rocky white head. Caramel aroma with tropical fruit and peach notes. Initial flavour is quite light, some melon, straw and earthy grain. Palate has some more bitter citrus balanced with biscuity malt and cereal. Quaffable, but not particularly stand-out.
