Bottle thanks, to Dave. It pours black with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, bitter - sweet, juicy, fruity, blueberry, fruit pie, roasted malts and charred wood. The taste is smooth initially, charred wood, toasted cocoa, dark fruits, plum, light spice, charred pine and earth with a lingering charred finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not bad.

Bottle at Level 42 tasting, thanks to the Wingmane, 11/07/16. Rich mahogany brown with a decent khaki cap. Nose is floral, spruce, light pine, toffee, light roast and charr. Taste comprises mineral tones, pine needle, charr, toffee, light cocoa. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a floral hop rinse. Ok CDA if a little harsh in places.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Gloucester Beer Festival, 22/4/2016. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of tangerine fruit and citrus hops. Flavour had sweetish marmalade notes, biscuity malts, leading to a decent, bitter, finish. Good.

Cask on gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 22/10.2015. Dark brown in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Dark fruits, a hint of spicy rye malt, supporting toastiness and a dryish finish, with a hoppy edge. A very good dark beer.
