Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours almost black with a tight cream head and good lacing. Has a vague aroma of cream and malt. When first tasted it was too cold, and the taste was dominated by coffee grounds and malts. Once it had warmed up, then dark fruits and chocolate took over. A dry bitter finish with coffee. Not too bad at all once it had warmed up.

Gravicask at Stratford Alehouse, half-pint shared with Finn. Clear copper body, filmy layer, scattered lacing. Promising malt-fruity aromas, toffee and ripe fruits. Rather rich taste of brittle caramel followed by a touch of dark fruits to a slightly roasted end. Quite nice. (Stratford-upon-Avon 02.02.2020).
