On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - close to opaque black but with some red chinks. Nose - creamy chocolate but with a distinctive farmyard edge to it. Taste - chocolate and some honeycomb. Palate - disappointingly thin given the chocolate notes. Thin rather than creamy. Overall - the farmyard element as well as the thin body don’t do it for me.

Cask at The Haymarket Bar. Pours dark brown, thick tan head. Aromas of coffee and dark stone fruit. Taste is more of the same, fruity with a bitter coffee background. Nice.

Pint at Henry Addingdon Canary Wharf. Warning accidental sour! Aroma is sharp green apple, granny smith and musty roast grains. Dark caramel brown colour with a fleeting loose tan head. Flavour is musty sour apple and crisp lemon and faint roast. Ballsack. Sharp sweet and sour palate.

Cask at the Reading beer festival. Golden-amber. Overwhelming ginger up front and a shitty grassy sour beer behind. Yes, they’ve tried to cover up a horrible beer with spice. Crap, just crap.

Cask @ Scarborough Hotel, Leeds. Glowing amber-orange with a creamy head. There’s lots of hops and different fruits including summer and tropical flavours alongside a tangy citrus bitterness.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - mostly pale malt. No sign of exciting hops. Taste - honey and malt. Again no big hoppiness. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture but the finish isn’t as refreshing as preferred. Overall - solid but won’t have another. Not sure the condition is where it should be.
