Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours black-brown with a very tight, creamy tan head. Lovely aroma, lots of rich roast, charred malts, pine and dark chocolate. Medium to big sweet flavor with well enough roast and hops to balance it out. Very roasty with charred wood, grass, sticky pine, dry chocolate, some dark and burnt sugar and earth. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Mild warming finish with lots of dry and roasty malts, scorched earth, charcoal, ash, dark chocolate, tobacco, light grapefruit, heavy grass and pine. Has a good bit of sticky, resinous bitterness. The dark, roasted malt character is very complex with lots of nice angles to it. Burnt wood, grass, roasted malts and baking cocoa linger on. Very solid beer on all fronts.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a soft, white foam head. Crispy straw in the nose, some biscuits. Light to medium sweet flavor with dry grains, crunchy straw, hay, toasty grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Semi-sticky, very dry finish with touches of lemon rind. Lots of dry and crispy straw, some fresh dandelions. Thirst quenching. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 21/04/2012. Deep amber in colour with a slight, white head. Big, hoppy aroma with some citrus fruit, a touch of pineapple and hint of malt sweetness. Flavour had some more fruit but the stand out thing was the bitter finish, which was massive, probably a touch too unrelenting for me. Enjoyable overall.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 9/04/2012. Near black in colour with a slight tan head. Big, hoppy aroma of citrus and green herbs. Flavour had a touch of sweetish chocolate, roasted malts and citrus fruit, with a lingering, dry finish. Very good.

On tap at the Craft. Clear pale gold beer, decent bubbly white head. Light semi dry palate. Juicy Magnum hops - a little floral with mellow grapefruit - tangerine. Good floral notes. Semi dry finish. A decent beer - just wish Arbor would up the abv and body a bit.

On tap at the Craft. Opaque black beer, little pale tan head. Mild dark malts with a little lacto and coffee. Mild chocolate. Nice hops - juicy grapefruit orange and lemon. Semi dry finish. Unsurprisingly well hopped given the Steel City boys involvement. Lets hope we get some more Steel City in Laaaaaahndaaahn soon. Tom Cadden says ’Hello Boys!’

On tap at the Euston Tap. Clear amber beer, tidy white head. Smooth silky palate. Good sweet malt base supports intense grassy hops. Liptons peach tea. Starts tangy but build in sweetness. Turns in to a sweet pine with a brief note of tropical fruits along the way. Finishes with grassy bitterness. Slightly warming. Quite a trip. The blackboard had a note next to this one that said BOOM! Indeed!
