Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Picked up for my by my in-laws when they were down in Devon. Also got me a branded pint glass. One of the first stouts that I really got.

Bottle courtesy of Totnes. Wonder if he knew it was over a year out of date? Hazed copper. Swirl of off white head. Nose has toffee and berries. Some roast malt. Bit of paper. Bizarrely, this smells like a thinned down Backwoods Bastard. Taste is sweet and malty. Some citrus bitterness. Light to medium body. Fine carbonation. Bitterness to finish. Not bad, really.

10/2/2020. Cask at The Postal Order, Worcester. Pours clear golden orange with a creamy white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, malt, touch of grapefruit, orange and flowers. Moderate to medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, thin oily texture, soft carbonation. Quite nice aroma but lacked a bit of body and bitterness, though it did develop a bit to finish.
