[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A glossy dark chestnut brown pour with a tight beige head; aroma of red fruit; sweet fruity taste with a gentle resinous bitterness that builds up slowly; and a satisfying finish with burnt grains and a touch of spice. A nice dark IPA.

Bottle bought at Tasting Barn, nr Wokingham. Aroma is malty, there's caramel, nougat. A hint of berries and eggs. Opaque dark brown. Foamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter. A tangy berry edge. Earthy. Woody. Underlying boiled veg. Medium bodied. Slick but thin. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent. It's fine but overly earthy and woody - it's like I've been out licking things in the garden.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 5 October 2021. Deep brown in colour, with a creamy, tan, head. Pleasant smokiness, with a touch of bacon sweetness, some plain chocolate and a hint of liquorice before a charred, toasty, finish. Very good.

[50cl bottle from Sheeplands Garden Centre, Hare Hatch.] An amber pour with a fast fading white head, leaving a rather flat looking appearance; sweet floral aroma, with some hay and biscuity malt; syrupy in the mouth with a grainy body and a sharp, punchy, herbal bitterness; and a trace of honey in the finish.
