24/6/2024. Bottle bought at James Pringle Weavers, Llanfairpg. Pours clear bright amber brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is toffee, malt, biscuit, fruits, bread, hint of marzipan. Quite sweet, moderate bitterness, slight metallic edge. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Bittersweet with a slight tart edge to finish. Not bad.

Cask @ Stackpole Inn, Stackpole. Clear amber-gold with a head. Has a mild hoppy-sweetness in both its aroma and taste. Session brew.

Pint from cask at The Queen's Vaults, Cardiff. A clear dark reddish pour with a finger of creamy tan head. Aroma is caramel, red berries, red apple, and that oxidizing funk that reminds of appleseed. Not too dry but not sweet either. No carbonation, as expected from cask. Lacking in acidity, so it should always be chilled. Not much bitterness either.

Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. There’s lactose and roast malts in the aroma. Roast malts to the fore in the mouth as well along with cola and dandelion and burdock plus hints of vanilla and plums. Later there are traces of ginger and liquorice too. Slight bitterness in the finish. Nice enough but a bit on the thin side.
