Clear golden beer with a thick, frothy head. Aroma is very pleasant, not-oversweet fruit with hops. The flavour is much the same, it could easily have been over-fruity or over-hoppy but the balance is just about right. The aftertaste is a little more bitter than I’d choose, however.

Opaque black brown beer, small pale tan head. Light semi dry palate. A little fruit sweetness and tang. Mild dark malts but with an unpleasant burned taste. Finishes minerally. Another beer from this brewery ruined by over toasted malt.

Opaque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate. Tangy malt with a very unpleasant burned taste. Trace of fruit before a neutral finish. Don’t mind toasted malt but hate this burned taste. Drain pour.

Cask @ Fat Cat, Sheffield
Black, off white bubbly head, some lacing
Aroma of plain chocolate, mellow roasted malts
Taste of roasted malts, plain chocolate, good chocolate malts, some dark fruits underneath
Palate - soft carb, thinnish body. Finish as main flavour, nice soft plain chocolate linger
Overall - Tasty, but a bit thin for me

Cask-conditioned at the Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire Beeriodical, at the Seven Stars, Bristol, August 2012. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, caramel and berry fruit aroma with some some hedgerow hoppiness. Flavour was also sweet, and marred by a buttery edge, leading to a moderately bitter finish. The worst beer of a high quality festival.
