Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark ruby with a small cream head. Mainly nuts in the aroma, with some hints of yeast. Caramel and dark fruits in the mouth, with a texture like gravy. Later there is a slight bitterness and hints of floral hops and treacle. Gets a bit watery as well. Finish is bitter and slightly dry. This is nice.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Shrewsbury Hotel (a Spoons) on 20th March 2023. Deep brown body, slightly hazed, weak off-white head. Malty molasses rule the nose and taste, some bittering hops for balance, not as exciting as I'd hoped for.

Cask-conditioned at the V Shed (JDW), Bristol 27/1/2022. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of citrus hops, with some apricot and tangerine fruitiness. Flavour had a touch more fruit and biscuity maltiness, before a dryish finish. Good.

Cask pint at Cobblestones, Bridgwater. Pours clear amber with an off- white cap. Aroma: smoked malts, light smoky bacon, toasted bread, caramel. Taste: the beechwood smoked malt character is there through, some caramel notes also. Light sweet & light to moderate bitter. Medium body with soft carbonation. Light smoky best bitter vibes, I like!
