Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a small cream head. The nose isn’t pronounced, but there’s some roast malts there at least. The immediate sensation in the mouth is of liquorice, quickly followed by dark fruit flavours and roasted bready malts. Later on some coffee comes through as well. Finish is dry and fruity. All in all a rather nice beer

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Pours opaque dark brown with a massive beige head. Aroma besieged by dark malts, well-done toast, some bitter chocolate. Balanced taste with notes of plum and a gritty bitterness to balance out the sweetness. A slight vegetal character mars the finish that little bit but it's a pretty good beer all in all.

Served from cask in excellent nick at The River Ale House in Greenwich, London, 27.01.22. Clear amber goldeb. Fine off-white head and lacing. Superb aroma taste of pale malt, a hint of crystal malt, succade and meadowy hops. Lingering aftertaste with some hop bitterness. Well-balanced and very quaffable.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford (not listed in RateBeer). Pours golden yellow with minimal white head, but good lacing. Malts and caramel in the nose, plus hints of floral hops. In the mouth it starts off with a creamy texture and sweet malt flavours, with traces of tropical fruits. Later on this becomes somewhat bitter with sharp citrus to the fore. Finish is bitter but with some caramel sweetness. A drinkable session beer.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a ruby red (light for a porter) with minimal off-white head. The usual suspects of roasted malts and dark fruits in the aroma. Fruit to the fore at the start in the mouth. Raspberries and plums on a base of caramel. Later on liquorice and aniseed come through. Finish is dry and fruity. Quite nice.
