(Cask at Craft Beer Co Clapham, London, 29 Nov 2014) Ruby red colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, blood orange and rye bread. Malty, fruity taste with notes of pink grapefruit, rye bread, orange peel and a balanced spicy/citric bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, but the rye character gets a bit sharp. Quite nice.

Cask in a shaker glass showing completely opaque black and a full body. The nose showed a lot of chocolate and roast malts. The palate was medium bodied with a lot roast malt flavor and a slight coffee-like tartness. The finish was a dark chocolate bitterness. Overall, a nice cask stout.

Keg at CBC St. Giles - London. Pours hazy gold with a frothy white cap. The aroma holds lots of piney hops, minerals, jammy citrus. Medium sweet flavor with assertive piney bitterness, dry minerals, grass, dry pale malts, some grapefruit, orange rind. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with more strong bitterness, pine, oily grass, dry pale bread, rindy citrus. Tasty beer overall but the hop character is a bit too pronounced.
