Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours rich chestnut with a small, foamy white head. Holds a rich toffee aroma with doughy malts and distant, ripe fruits. Light to medium sweet, with toasted biscuits and earthy, leafy and slightly herbal bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes dryly with notes of burnt candy, toast and some herbal, earthy hops. Pretty nice.

Reddish amber clear beer. Semi dry palate. Nicley balanced toffeeish malt with a smooth but subdued hop counterbalance. Creamy malt in the finish and an aftertaste of fading hop.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen on 30th October 2009. Black-red with off-white head. Thick, slightly smoky and sour. Burnt malts, some citrus fruitiness and just a hint of salt and smoked sausage before a strong burnt dry finish on a thick, filling and satisfying mouthfeel.

Cask-conditioned at the Cross Hands, Winterbourne Down, S Gloucestershire 27/10/09. Dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of caramel, milk chocolate and a hint of roasted malts. Flavour was sweet, with fruit, liquorice, more roastiness, and a dry finish with some lactose. Good.
