Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 3 August 2022. Deep brown in colour with a thin, off-white, head. Brown sugar, red berries and prunes, bready malts, a hint of spice and green herbs, leading to a rich and vaguely boozy finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Hamilton Hall (Spoons), Liverpool Street, London. A dark ruby/brown coloured pour with a healthy creamy off white head on top. Sweet, malty, caramel, dark fruit taste and aroma. Really nice ale but served way too warm on a very hot afternoon in London.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small off-white head. Toffee and liquorice are prominent in the aroma. In the mouth, there is a mix of dried fruit , chocolate, cherries and liquorice with an underlying malt base. This is a general slight sweetness, again with some bitterness underneath. Fruitcake and treacle in the finish. This is a pretty good traditional strong ale.
