Cask @ The Pub, Todmorden. Black with a frothy head. Its coffee is gritty and prevalent, and lasts long in its aftertaste. There’s plenty in aroma too.

Aged for 9 months in American Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks. Light haze on this deep reddish amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a decent creamy sweetness, slightly tangy caramel and toffee. Good winey tang, getting Port Wine like, some sherry and Madeira too boot. Light spice and rich ripe fruits. A rich fruity bitter finish. Unusual barleywine and purdy darn rich and drinkable.

Bradford Beer Festival 2020. Black-brown with an off-white head. It's heavy tasting with its alcohol content, but roasted malts are available in both aroma and taste.

Half-pint, well kept cask ale at Dispensary. Shared with Finn. Clear amber body, spotty lacing, firm white head. Dusty hops and bread on the nose, promising. Bread-fruity flavours, hints of caramel. Bittersweet ending. Pretty good. (Liverpool 27.01.2020).

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Pitch black in the glass, a few bubbles on the surface, scattered lacing. Bread-like malts on the nose added by chocolate. Slightly spiced chocolate malts to the taste buds followed by a fruity bite towards the finish. Smooth on the swallow. Pleasing. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

Cask @ New Oxford, Salford. Golden with a small head. Hoppy and dense textured through its strength, which does impact its taste. Sugars are apparent.

Delt med Rune. Gylden. Lavt tett skum. Vinøs aroma. Hvitvin. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken svisker & tørket frukt. Tørr avslutning.
