Cask at the Birmingham Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is roasted malt, creamy caramel, coffee and some chilli spice. The flavour is medium bitter with a medium to weak bodied spicy liqourice palate and a short bitter finish. This really was a superb beer.

Bottle, 5.9%. Refreshing, mildly fruity aroma. Hazy amber colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is quite bitter, there is some fruity hoppiness, soft fruits, mango and watermelon. The bitterness is really quite high, but it goes well with the more aromatic hoppy notes.
