Hand-pulled pint in the Codsall Railway Station bar on 10th Nov 2016. Light chestnut in colour, clean and clear, the head an off-white speckled covering. Malty, fairly dry tasting and woody in nature. Bitter, dry finish. OK but would have liked a bit more sweetness from the malts.

Cask pint at The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire on 19th April 2016. Poured a very dark brown with a ruby hue when held up to the sun light. The head was a beige colour that left heavy lacing on my glass. Over roasted malts rule the nose and taste, light malts mind, not burnt or overpowering, some fruity hop content balanced out the malts and I found this a tasty and easy to drink ’Black Pale Ale’.
