Bottle at Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with white thin soapy head, sweet malt aroma with a feint amount of hop, taste reflects the aroma not massive hop but what is there is pleasant and citrus. Crisp and refreshing session strength pale.

Cask at The Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a hazy amber, although I’m told my pint was towards the end of the barrel and its normally clearer! There is a thin white head with bags of broken lace. The aroma is big malt leading to a medium to weak bitter flavour with lots of malt and a slightly fruity, smooth palate. A super drinkable session beer which went down very well indeed.

500ml bottle [7.4% abv]. Black colour with no head, just a reawakening afterwards fading thin beige layer. Dark malty aroma with whiskey notes, vanilla, leather. Taste is dark malty with a sourish touch; flat and insipid palate. Infected?
