Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a tight beige foam. Tangy dark malt nose, some toast. Medium sweet flavor with lots of toasty malts, slight lacto sweetness, toasty sugars, tangy earth, faint smoke, dirt. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Medium sweet on the finish with toast, tangy earth, faint smoke. Seems a bit tangy, in an odd, earthy way. Some mild smoke lasts. This might not be optimal condition. (3.3)

Cask at the Grove Inn, Huddersfield. It pours jet black, with a thick beige head. The nose is salted liquorice, smoke, wood and bitter chocolate. The taste is roasted malt, milk chocolate, salt, charcoal, touch of tangy dark fruit, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Smooth and well balanced. Great stuff.

Bottle from Utobeer, Boro’ Mkt, London. A hazy dark golden/orange coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Intriguing aroma of tropical fruit, caramel and malt. Tastes slightly bitter, caramel, distinct grapefruit, malty, some spice. My first beer from Red Willow and it was pretty good stuff.
