Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours almost black with a small tan head. The aroma has biscuits, fudge and roasted malts. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy, gooey texture. Flavour has roasted malts, chocolate, fudge, treacle and hints of oranges. Liquorice comes through quite strongly later leading to a fairly bitter finish. This is distinctly reasonable.

Cask @ The Hebden (formerly The Pub), Hebden Bridge. Black with a very small light-brown creamy head. Its fudge is decent and not overbearing - chocolate is perhaps best in its nose.

Handpull cask at the brewpub, Barnsley. Chestnut brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with s thick beige head. Light nutty aroma, some berry and stone fruit in the background. Sweet taste with a gorgeous little malty character, dipping into an almost sour woody character in the finish. It’s a lovely little biter but fails to quite hit the heights of the best examples of the style.
