Cask at the Dove Street Inn Winter Festival, 2017. Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of liquorice, chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, texture is a little too thin, soft carbonation. Apart from being a bit thin, this was enjoyable.

Cask @ Waterhouse, Manchester. Blonde with a head. It's light tasting, but perhaps too much so as both fruit and its wheat beer character are subtle at best.

42nd floor beer share. Can. Clear dark amber beer, very large pale tah head. Palate is airy and smooth. Slightly tangy dark malts, decent malt cream and a touch of dark chocolate. Tangy spice and bitter floralness. Dry earthy finish reveals some mild esters. Tasty enough.
