Flaske 0,33l spandert av Rune og delt under rateseanse i H9 1 Okt 13. Mørkebrun. Litt uklar - men veldig uklar etter siste kvelling. Innbydende fruktaroma. Lite kullsyre. Innholdsrik fruktsmak. Blir veldig tørr etter hvert.

Cask @ Pie & Ale, Manchester. Had this with a zebra pie, (not much zebra mind) and went down a treat. A pleasant enough ale, a touch on the sweet side with a nice bitterness on the finish. Did the job nicely.

Cask @ Manchester Beer & Cider Festival Jan 14. Big choccy nose but sadly doesn’t continue as much into the taste, with a weak blend of roasted malts and dusty cocoa. Disappointing.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head and a full blonde ale fruitiness, maybe a touch dry with slips down the palate with ease.
