Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2024. Towards black, with plenty of the said fudge in both aroma and taste, possibly coming across as caramels too.

Handpull cask at the Black Rock, Wakefield. Dark brown and a little bit translucent with a full tight khaki head. Lots of raisin and general stone fruit aroma, slightly less of the rum. More rum, but a little less raisin, in the mouth... it kind of loses me a bit here. On one hand it's got syrupy fruit notes but a bitter happiness in the back if the tongue which clashes rather than balances. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Okay.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Beige, bubbly head, almost black in the glass, scattered lacing. Sweet smell of chocolate and dried fruits. Mixed malt-driven taste of nuts, chocolate and prunes. Sweet ending, hints of rum. Medium bodied. Satisfying, too sweet for a higher score. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter i Burton-Upon-Trent. Ultramørkebrun/svart. Luftig skumring med litt farge. Vaniljearoma. Smaken tørket frukt & bær. Tørr, lett bitter avsutning. Ble for søt.

Cask @ Cask & Feather, Rochdale. Clear copper-gold with a creamy head. The brandy influence is a little more sweet than spirit in influence, but regardless it's a lovely winter warmer with a Christmas style spiciness. Has a very heavy mouthfeel for its strength.

Handpull cask at the Duck & Drake, Leeds. Pours damn near black with a full beige head. Very little aroma on this beer, a little bit of chocolate malt. Tastes out of this world: sweet cherry notes on top of dark malts leads to an nice little bitter finish. Thick body for the ABV, soft carbonation. Very nice.
