Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Stores Goring-on-Thames, consumed WOMAD Festival, Wiltshire, Friday 27th July 2012 It’s very dark brown with a tan head. Bitter chocolate dark tangy and fruity some bitter cocoa powder and a rugged roastiness. Enjoyable and better in bottle than when I had it in cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury recently.

Bottle. A bit, off-white head forms over a clear, dark golden body. Rather fruity nose with a touch of old garbage in the far back. Caramel and biscuits too. Quite fruity flavor, with some fruity sourness. Maltyness in the back. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. Some bitterness in the finish. Well, sure a decent beer, but I can’t imagine myself drinking more of it. 120720

Cask at the London Drinker Festival 2012. Pours dark brown with a sturdy, tan foam head. Aroma holds some chocolate, dark caramel candy, faint treacle. Medium sweet flavor with some charcoal, cocoa, dirt and earth, moss and other burnt wood. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky on the finish with restrained chocolate, perhaps hints of liqueur or something, a bit more earth and burnt woody bitterness. Pretty good stuff.
