Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Pours dark ruby, aroma has gently sweet dark malt. Taste bears chocolate with coconut hints, light roast, dark malts. Body seems quite smooth and oily perhaps. Tastes like it's probably at the end of the barrel, so scored objectively.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with attractive thin lacing. Nose - corn and a light grassy note. Taste - caramel and more corn. Palate - light bodied and creamy. Not as dry as hoped. Overall - Nose good but taste could be fresher.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Dark fruit and creamy coffee aroma. Dark cola brown. Bubbly off-white head. Light bitter with a mix of sweetness and sourness. Creamy berries with a touch of coffee. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Flat carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. When Insaw how thin and relatively light it was pouring I had my doubts. However it's fruity enjoyable stuff.
