Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Light ruddy brown and clear with the thinnest possible off-white head and a little bit of thin lacing. Sweet earthy aroma, some heady soft citrus and resinous malt. Tastes sweet, again slightly fruity yet malt led. Hop is nicely present but happy to take a back seat. Light body, soft carbonation. Really well put together.

Keg draught at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark brown with some translucency and and small layer of beige head.light aroma with intense malt character, ash, light ground coffee. Slightly sweet taste, some papery notes, accentuated by coffee flavours. In the latter half of the sip I'm getting a nice dogged bitterness. Light body, low to medium carbonation. Good.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Brownish red and clear with a smattering of off-white head. Big resinous notes in the aroma, with redcurrant and oak. Tastes sweet and malty with light bitterness closer to the finish. It's flat as a pancake with a light body. But overall a wonderful concoction.
