Cask at the Caley Picture House. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Aromas of toffee, metal, faint citrus. Taste is very metallic. Not enjoying this. Glad it’s only a third. Like licking a battery.

Bottle from a now unrecalled source. Pours mid brown with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, molasses and nut. Moderate sweetness and medium plus bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Packs quite a punch.

500 ml bottle: BBD 13th Aug 2017. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 17th Feb 2017. Deep, dark mahogany body, foaming lightly tanned head. Roasted, toasted malts lead the nose and taste with both chocolate and toffee flavours to the fore, some dark fruit notes too (raisins, plums, dates, dried figs). Liked it.

500ml bottle bought at Topsham Wines. Deep rosewood coloured body under a remaining off-white head. Lacing rings down the glass. Attractive aromas of brown and black malts. Solid taste profile of chocolate and caramel with a backdrop of dark fruits. Drying malt-fruity ending. Well bodied. Good drinking (shared with friends at Finn’s place 05.01.2017).

Cask pint on 7th Nov 2016 in The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Clear mahogany body, speckled white crown. Malty molasses rule the nose and semi-sweet taste, toffee being the main flavour and aromas. My sweet tooth liked the beer, a decent winter brew.
