Cask at NWAF, 2013. Burnt orange pour with a white head. Orchard fruit and orange marmalade aroma. Nice fruity action- splash of pear and tangerine. Quite crisp. Not bad at all.

Bottle version @ Molly’s, Lancaster. It’s a fairly dry stout, pleasant without overstating itself. It has a roasted aroma but is mild in character in this respect.

Black, ruby edges, off white creamy head, good lacing
Aroma of soft roasted malts
Taste of dark malts, soft roasted malts, dark sugars, touch of chocolate
Palate - thin to medium body. Finish of soft bitter roast and some sweet dark malts
Overall - Reasonable stout but didn’t make much of an impression

Draft at the Doric Arch, Euston, London. Poured a reddish brown. Weak malty aroma. Weak malty flavour! Nothing special... like most reds.

Retro reviews from Spring 2012 Wetherspoons Beer festival; apparently brewed exclusively for festival, I wonder what the remit was to make something completely uninspiring and mediocre.

bottle - Pours very dark brown with a small tan head. The aroma is of dark roast malt and coffee. It has a similar roast malt and coffee accentuated flavor. There’s mild bitterness and a medium body. It’s decent though it could use some more flavor.

GBBF. Light gold beer, little white head. Light dry palate, too dry. Light but dry malt and very mild citrus. A bit too light and dry!
