Shared with Finn, half pint cask ale at the New Oxford Winter Ales Festival. Bubbly rings at the surface. Clear amber-gold coloured body. Mid sweet malty to the nose added by fruity tartness. Modest flavour of semi-tart fruits with malty sweetness beneath. Rather sharp fruity ending. Soft in the mouth. Not that well balanced (Greater Manchester, 27.01.2013).

Half pint, cask hand pulled at New Oxford Salford. Clear, dark brown body under a bubbly surface. Modest smell of dark coffee malts. Flavoured with coffee grounds and dark chocolate malts. A bit diluted in the mouth. Easy to drink. A decent one (Greater Manchester, 22.01.2013).
