Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 15/10/09. Dark brown in colour, with hints of red and a moderate tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malts and raisins. Flavour was dominated by chocolate and black coffee with a slightly vinous edge and dry finish. Drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 09/09/09. Pale copper in colour with a decent white head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. Aroma of hay, apricots and a touch of grassy hop. Sweetish malt flavour, with a touch of corn and decent bitter finish. Very drinkable on a warm afternoon.

Gravity dispense at Pig’s Ear Festival 2008, London
Hazy amber color. Earthy aroma, light manure. Manure flavor too, sweetish, grassy. Usually I like manure in English Ales, but this one is wrong.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 14/10/08. Pale amber with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of biscuity malt, grassy hops and a hint of orange fruit. Flavour had plenty of savoury malt, more grassiness and a lengthy, bitter finish. A decent first effort.
