Draught keg at Drink Valley, Fleet Square. Very dark brown, opaque with an uneven tan head. Getting the chocolate caramel on the nose, a little nutty. Sweet taste, big on the caramel and chocolate, with a touch of Hop bitterness further down the line. Medium body and carbonation. Pretty intense due to the ABV.

Handpull cask at Drink Valley Old Town, Swindon. Ruby mid-brown, clear with a ring of beige head. Big malty aroma, hints if dark caramel and chocolate. Bittersweet taste, light fruity notes among the hop. Sweet and jammy with a touch of bitterness in the finish. A little like 6X but better.
