From cask @ The Diamond, Londonderry. This is a mild cloudy looking one, brownish golden in color and a small bit lasting cask bubbly head on the top. It smells a little bit soapy, mild caramel, some almonds. Not a bad aroma, just really mild. It's cask flat and it has a thin oily texture in the mouth. Like the taste though! Quite a lot actually. Nutty all the way, bitter soapy. Lots of wood elements, fresh birch that is. Smooth in the taste, quite good and casky! 05.06.2016

0.5l bottle @ The Diamond, Londonderry. Actually had to struggle quite a bit to get a decent head on this one, and all I got was a cask-like bubbly beige islandy thing. In the glass it's a more or less black looking one, deep and dark. It smells pretty good. Lots or warming roasted notes, a little licoroce, cold coffee and mild burnt toast. Not bad at all. Tastes much the same. It's quite heavy roasted I'd say, almost a little burnt around the edges. Black toast, cold coffee. A little papery perhaps. Feels fuller in the mouth than the abv should suggest and it's just below average on the carbonation. Nice dark lingering tail. Quite good. 07.06.2016

0.5l bottle @ The Diamond, Londonderry. Looks quite nice in the glass at least with a cloudy orangey golden body with a tall and really lasting eggshell colored head that's generously lacing down the sides of the glass. Oh, smells really nice also. Sweet and fruity with a nice not too aggressive hop bit. Sweet peach and some pale malts. Nice aroma. It's just about average on the carbonation and it has a thin oily texture in the mouth. Sweetish, not much hop resistance here, and it's really lightdrinkable. A little dryish. Some hop sweetness,and it is in general quite on the sweeter side of the Golden scale. Quite a nice not too complocated one. 07.06.2016

Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Hazy light amber. Banana and alcohol from the off. Pretty obviously boozy. Banana does mellow as you drink more and it gets a bit more malty and fruity (ie fruits other than banana). Sweet and in-your-face. Not my kind of beer. Still, it did beat Hop Art Hoppist in the battle of the Belgian brews at the beer fest.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2016. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of sweetish malts and a touch of citrus fruit, with a whiff of grassy hop. Flavour had sweetish, biscuity, malts, some more citrus fruit and a dryish finish. Good.
