31st March 2013
Tasting at ChrisO’s. Dark brown beer, good dark tan head. Light dry palate, smooth. Good tangy dark malts and dark fruits. Light frothy dry finish.

Half pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Waggon & Horses. Pitch black body, fragile lacework, lacing head. Aroma of milk chocolate. Chocolate and vanilla to the taste buds added by earthy malts. Mid-sweet malty ending. O’boy- like. Soft. Quite tasty, a bit too sweet perhaps (York, 26.01.2013).

Half pint, guest ale from cask at The Last Drop Inn. Creamy white head to a hazy, gold-amber coloured body. Dotted spots to the glassware. Grass and half-sweet malts to the nose. Taste character of juicy malts and lemon added by moments of dried fruits with a good bitter support. Good, with session qualities (York, 26.01.2013).

Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malt. Flavour is coffee, roasted malt, fruit,hop, sourness, chocolate. Nice beer.
