Medium sweetness, light to moderate roasted bitterness. Quite full bodied, creamy, soft carbonation. Really good, just shaded the brandy version by being a little less sweet.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester May 2023. Golden in colour and cloudy, with a moderately-sized, white, head. Ripe tropical fruits, sweetish malts, grassy hops, some sharpness before a dryish finish. Good.

Gravicask, 1/3 pint at GBBF Winter '23. Shared with Finn. Deep black body, lacing rings down the glass, from a fading beige head. Inviting smell of mildly roasted chocolate malts. Vanilla chocolate to the forefront of the flavour character, biscuit support, and lactose backbone. Smooth chocolate finish, rather sweet. Tasty, just a tad too sweet. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).
