Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons on 13th October 2023. Looked fine, deep chestnut/mahogany body, off white crown. Sadly it tasted a little too earthy and spicy for my palate, all a bit 'green', it needed another month in the barrel to sort it's self out.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Can looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Starts mild, malty, a bit washy. Sweetish fruity background. Some hints of apricot, some peaches. Finish well balanced. Not bad!

Bottle from Asda online. It pours clear brown with a sturdy off - white head. The aroma is sweet, molasses, dried fruits, cherry, blueberry, Eccles cake, liquorice, fruit & nut chocolate, and toasty grain. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, toothy, chewy, toasty brown sugars, candied fruits, dried berries, cola cubes, cherry cola, earthy, leafy, varnished oak and warming alcohol boost with a drying, chewy finish. Average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Fruity cola boost vibes. Not a huge amount of depth. Ok.
