Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Paler amber coloured with a small creamy head. Has a fairly stated tropical fruitiness in its aroma, but this drops off somewhat for its taste, where it’s a little more hoppy.

Bottle thanks to Kenny at level 42. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malts, earthy, charred wood, vanilla, light menthol, dried fruits, touch of solvent, fruit cake and earth. The taste is smooth, rich roasted malt, earth, toasty, umami, solvent, peppery spice, wood, mild astringency and burnt vanilla with with a drying finish. Full body and moderate, foamy caronation. Lacking a bit of depth, but overall decent.
