Cask at The White Lady. Dark brown, thin beige head. Big milk chocolate aromas, nothing else. Taste had a light fruitiness but dominate by chocolate - too much for me.

Cask @ Rushden Historical Transport Society. Deep copper with a cloud of white head. Unattractive aroma of sulphur, sour grape and turpentine. Taste is woody, medicinal and sour with a lingering dry finish. Nasty sourish aftertaste. Not a good beer by any stretch of the imagination.

Cask handpull at Lord Moon of the Mall Spoons Whitehall. Very dark brown beer almost black lasting dark beige head. Initial slurp was I wasn’t that keen on this. Artificial chocolate flavour. Milk chocolate like the chocolate on a Milky Way. It settles down a bit but I am still not convinced about the chocolate flavouring

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Cask. Clear deep red - amber - brown beer. Small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and dry with mild fine carnonation. Rich dark drinking chocolate powder. Nice tangy dark fruits, plummy. Little bitterness before more dark chocolate. Dry finish. Tasty and pretty drinkable.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Mahogany with a loose cream head and a tawny glow; aroma of deeply roasted malts; sweet chocolatey malty taste with a milky body; and a dry, fruity bitterness to finish. Smooth and satisfying.
