Hand-pulled cask half-pint on 2nd June 2018 in The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon. Lovely clear dark amber body, clean and clear, on top a white pillow of tight foam. Nice malty front to this traditional English Bitter, some fruity notes to be found in both the aroma and flavour. A very pleasant, easy drinking beer all round.

Wakefield Beer Festival 2016. Black in colour. There’s a slight vanilla influence in its nose, whilst its texture is heavy through a clear strength that produces a sticky-sweet texture for its roasted malts.
