Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Medium brown, small white head. Cola, plums and birch beer in the aroma. Smooth fruity taste. The bitter hop note keeps the intensity of the sweetness at bay. Slight increase in bitterness for the finish, although I’d still prefer more balance. Fairly weak body.

Bottle shared at the chriso pre-Christmas tasting 2014 - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan head. Pleasant chocolate and raspberry aroma. Light-medium sweet flavor with some raspberry seeds, chocolate, light roast, some earthy bitterness. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Decent valance on the finish, more cocoa, some dried raspberry, some woody notes. Tasty stuff.

Cask @ White Lion, Heptonstall. Very dark red with a small creamy off-white head. It’s mainly a porter with the honey very light but providing a small sweetness and small smoothness to the ales texture.
