Cask at The Black Bulls Head, Open Woodgate, Derbyshire, Friday 9th September 2016 in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Fruity (dark fruit skins) on the nose and immediately in the mouth, nice bitter linger with chocolate also coming to the party and perhaps just a faint hint of coffee. Lovely beer.

Hazy amber - gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is dry and fairly crispy. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Decent spicy orange hop but alose a little thin feeling. Marmalade. Touches of pine, peach and mango. Thin bitterish finish. Not bad but the malt base is flimsy.
