Half-pint after a traditional breakfast. Black in the glass, a fair fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on then glass. Mid-sweet doughy malts on the nose. Smooth chocolate flavours added by a coffee bite. Smooth malty finish, semi-sweet, and lightly roasted. Decent (Liverpool, 13.02.2025).

Half-pint, cask ale. Good looking with its deep amber body, rich lacing from a decent beige head. Green hops and bread-like malts on the nose, promising. Fine balanced taste of leafy hops, ripe fruits, and earthy malts. Smooth bitter tail. Well made version of the style. (Liverpool, 12.02.2025).
