Bottle at the School’s Out Tasting. Pours dark amber, with the merest white head. Aromas of light chocolate, light red fruit, Worcester tang. Taste is soapy - maybe there’s only one bottling line in Worcestershire? They’ve all been pretty soapy so far. Thin for the strength.

Cask at Craft 100. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is earthy, musty, toasted brown bread, leather and light oxidized notes. The taste is toasty, earth, bitter-sweet, cocoa, charred stuff and a touch of caramel with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. OK at best.

Draft at Craft 100 April 2015 - London. Pours clear brown with a light, creamy tan head. The nose holds aged cocoa, toast, earth and grains. Medium sweet flavor with some old pine, brown bread, dry caramel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sugary on the finish with some more toast, dry chocolate, aged fruits. OK, just doesn’t seem terribly fresh.
