500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours amber-brown, light haze, decent, just off-white head. Smells like the pot-pourris M&S used to sell at Christmas time in the mid 90s, cinnamon and ginger. Some nutmeg too. Taste is bitter, in a spice way. Faint sweet caramel at the back. Not bad, but couldn’t see myself sinking many.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep amber to brown with a lovely fluffy head. Nose - nutmeg and ginger. Brown bread. Taste - more of the same. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good but the quantities of spice make it difficult to work out the malt and hop flavours and because of this it is rendered somewhat one dimensional.

Cask at Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Town Hall, Thursday 15th October 2015 in the company of Ferret, Grace, Ian, Geraint and Helen. Pours black or maybe just very dark brown, tricky to be certain in this light. Roasty a touch thin but with some light chocolate touches, good solid stout. . A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.5

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with decent fine carbonation. Light pale malts, not that sweet. Apple, not too strong. Mild orange marmalade and floral bitterness. Light dry bitterish finish. Passable.

Half pint, cask at the brewpub Flower Pot in Derby. Clear amber coloured body. Lacing rings down the glass. Smell of caramel and dried fruits. Toffee and brittle caramel offset by hints of dried fruits. Bitter endnotes. Decent version of the style (20.02.2015).
