Cask at Swan & Railway, Wigan. Pours a considerably dark reddish-brown with a medium sized cream head and good lacing. The mainstay of the aroma is vanilla – plus some hints of alcohol. In the mouth it has roast malts, dark fruits, chocolate and rum. After a while the alcoholic strength becomes evident, along with liquorice. Finish is slightly boozy. This is really nice.

From tap at Dog & Duck in Soho with Terje 28.11.22. Clear golden. Excellent aroma and taste of pale malt, succade and meadows. Not to sweet. Very quaffable! An excellent bitter!

Cask at the Ale Hub, Shirley. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt and yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, malt, gluey, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
