Near black with a tight, frothy tan head. Roasted malt, some chocolate and a hint of hops on the nose. Fizzy and smooth, with chocolate malt, mild coffee bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish

Draft at Vinny and Ted, Chalfont St Peter. Poured a clear light amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, nettle, grassy. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, fresh, grassy, dank, piney, light grapefruit citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

500ml bottle from Everyman's, Shrewsbury. Pours dark, off-white head. Nicely rich dark ale, liquoricey feel but doesn't come across like a black IPA necessarily, lacking that sharp hop pine bite one is accustomed to nowadays. Decent sipper.

Hand-pulled pint with Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas in the Armoury, Shrewsbury on 24th January 2024. Clean amber body, off-white crown. Malty front, like so many Welsh Bitters, this also held some bittering fruity hops, but the maltiness ruled the flavours from start to finish.

Cask @ Magic Dragon Tap, Wrexham. Pours a misty gold with a vague pinkish hue, good white head. Decent cask blonde overall, pale malt sweetness with a subtle strawberry presence. More would be welcome.

Keg @ Cromwell's Tap House. Unclear amber appearance, medium sized pure white head. Aroma of tropical citrus, some more distinct stonefruit influences to taste, perhaps a hint of passionfruit.. balanced, gentle bitterness. Not bad.

Shared third of a pint at the 31st Shrewsbury Beer Festival in St Mary's Church on 28th September 2023. Looks and smells like a Porter, someone forgot to put the Blackberry's in, or didn't put enough in the influence the aroma or flavours.
