Hand-pulled pint in The Codsall Railway Buildings on 24th March 2017. A deep golden body with a decent off-white head of foam. Nice blend with neither the hops nor malts overpowering the other. Maybe more hops in the nose and more maltiness in the taste but only marginally. Subtle aroma and flavours, but easy enough to quaff.

Bottle at home, 18/02/17. Clear light golden blonde with a decent white head. Nose is pale malts, grassy tones, vanilla, wheat, soft bread, citric sherbets, a touch sweet. Taste comprises orange peel, citric sherbets, chalky mineral notes, caramel, light bread dough. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a crisp bitter bite at the curtain call. Ok I guess but nothing I’d rush back for.

(Cask at St Urhos Pub Portteri- ja Stout-päivät 2017) The beer poured clear and black. Its head was medium sized and nearly white. Aroma had burnt malts, sweetness and mildly coffee. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, earth, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt and bitter. A rather nice stout with sweet notes.
