[50cl bottle from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head and light carbonation; subdued citrus aroma; light biscuity malt body with some citrus and a leafy bitterness; then a malty finish with some earthy caramel. Unexciting.

Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2019. Cask @ Leeds Station Wetherspoon, Leeds. Golden with a creamy head. It’s decent textured for its strength, hiding it will and is mostly hoppy with just a hint of sugared fruitiness in both aroma and taste.

Cask ale, third at the brewery. Shared with Finn. Coal black, bubbles to the rim of the surface, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of chocolate malts. Chocolate to the taste buds, hints of liquorice and a slightly sourish dark fruity touch to the end. So and so. (Liverpool 27.01.2020).
