Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours almost black with a small foamy tan head and some lacing. Malts dominate the aroma, alongside traces of honey and cake. In the mouth it is sweet and smooth with a creamy texture. Flavour has dark fruits, malts, some citrus and hints of vanilla and gingerbread. Finish is somewhat fruity. This is quite nice.

6/2/2026. Cask at the 16th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. Aroma is hoppy, grassy, citrus. Very nice bitterness. One of the best beers at the festival, certainly cask wise.

Teesside Beery Day Out Beer#17. Last beer on Teesside proper. Not quite black, not quite stout in accepted character, with mild but sweet dark malts the main here. Most roasted in aroma, a little thin in texture.
