Cask at the Pup & Duckling, Solihull. Poured a murky dark brown colour with a lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, light grassy hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, fresh, dry, spicy, hop bitter palate with a lingering bitter finish. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. More like a black IPA than a stout.

Cask at the Robin, Crouch Hill on 1st April 2025. Almost impenetrably black with tan foam and full lacing. Rich and complex roasty malt aroma with some yeastiness. Roasty in-mouth with spices, ripe berries and coffee. A burnt coffee roast finish. Tangy citrus on the upper palate. Full bodied with an engaging texture. Well crafted.

Keg pour at the Steamworks in the interesting sea resort of Seaford in Sussex. Clear golden with a small glow and a small head. Very dry and quite hoppy with hints of fruit. Fair, although not entirely sure what the brew is aiming to be.
