Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 13/04/2012. Near black with a decent, off-white head. Milk chocolate and roasted malts upfront, with the chilli only really becoming evident in the finish, with some long-lasting warmth. Enjoyable.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Amber with a loose white head; slightly musty, honeyed aroma with some dusty hops; much better in the mouth though, soft and smooth with some zesty citrus fruit; and then a strong burst of mouth-filling hops that are assertive, but not too bitter; leading to a woody finish.
