Cask-conditioned at the Cheshire Beeriodical, Seven Stars, Bristol October 2012. Near black with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of dark chocolate, liquorice and roated malts. Flavour had more chocolate, a hint of dark fruits and lingering, dry finish. Very good.

Cask at The Duke of Wellington, London. Pours clear brown with almost no head. Smells like cider, seriously. Light sweet flavor with some dirt, apple, leaves. Light in body, soft in carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with some berries, soggy bread, light leather. The poor condition of this beer really hurts.

Cask at Euston Tap with Sarah. Pours a clear dark amber with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a note of earthy pine hops with a hint of dark grains. Flavor has a nice roasted malt note with a dry pine hops that rounded out the finish.

Cask at the Rose Villa Tavern, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. Clear brown pour with a bubbly white frothy head. A classic English bitter with a nice malty aroma and lots of chewy malt and bitter in the flavour with a liqourice aftertaste that sets this beer apart from the crowd.

(Draught at MacKinlay’s Inn, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of pine needles, black-currant and dark chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with black coffee, dark chocolate, pine needles and grapefruit in a finish with a generous, roasty bitterness. More than medium body, with balanced sweetness. Excellent take on the style. Very nice beer.
