Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a dark mahogany with a big frothy tan head. The aroma is dry and peaty leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. The palate is smooth but packed full of chewy flavours. The rating should be higher than it is IMO.

Has a sweet, malty aroma and the taste is similar, though a little bit bland. Okay and nothing more.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - a hazy golden pour with a white head, the haze taking some time to clear. The nose is grapefruit, and very strong tropical fruits, the taste is almost floral, with a heavy bite of kumquat. Not too gassy, not too oily. Refreshing, but strong. Not a session beer.
