Cask at CPK - London. Pours oily black with a foamy brown head. Heavy burnt earth on the nose, some chocolate cake, baking cocoa, burnt wood. Medium to big sweet flavor with some oily chocolate sauce, torched wood, mild earthy bitterness, cherry liqueur, dried berries. Medium bodied with very fine carbonation. Impressively little alcohol presence to finish, lots of rih chocolate character, bittersweet cocoa, brownies, modest scorched earth. Very good and quite drinkable for the ABV.

Cask at Haymarket. Clear pale golden pour, thin white head. Good citrus hop aromas, grapefruit and so on. More good bitterness on the taste too. A little on the thin side if anything, but very nice.

Nose is citrus, slight pine. Taste is lime, mandarin leading to a little cereal and a resin finish. Mouthfeel is suitable. It’s a decent American IPA, to be filed with the other 756,432 which are available.
