Bottle from Bicester Avenue Garden Centre at 4.8%. Mahogany-black with a thick beige to tan coloured head and a light fizz. Coffee and caramel up front then wood and a hint of pine and spice. Nice chewy mouthfeel and quite a dry finish. I liked this.

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Clear amber body, bubbles on the surface, poor lacing. Mid-dry malty smell, hints of toffee. Almond and nuts to the flavour character followed by a dried fruity bite towards a rounded bittersweet ending. Satisfying. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Deep black coloured body, poor lacing, patchy head. Chocolate-grainy aromas, promising. Blended taste of dark malts, moments of chocolate and liquorice. Has got a piney touch to a malt-driven end. Pleasant. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).
