500ml bottle. Gushed a clear golden colour with a big frothy, short-lived white head. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, light fruit, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a toffee caramel, light spice, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Super for the ABV.

Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading. Black with a thin beige head and a light fizz - decent condition. Heavy roast notes up front, almost an acrid note. Some blackcurrant and chocolate behind. A moderate bitterness to finish. Ok, but a little too charred for my liking

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Dark tawny brown, almost black, with a tight cream head; fruity aroma; smooth in the mouth with a fruity taste and an earthy bitterness; then a dry finish with a lingering bitterness. Rather good.

Gravity at the Little Green Dragon. A somewhat unappealing look in the glass with a strange brown colour. Not much nose and the flavour was dominated by the sweet honey. This was really not my thing and I didn't enjoy it at all because of that intense sweetness. It set my teeth on edge.
