(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 21 Nov 2024) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark chocolate, coffee and black bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, sweet espresso, liquorice and a balanced cacao bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. A bit sweeter than expected, but really rich and tasty stout. Very nice.

Cask at The White Horse, Parsons Green, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity, malty, sweetish taste and aroma. Really drinkable on cask.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 10th January 2025. Slightly hazy amber with shallow, loose foam and plenty of lacing. Richly fruity aroma with sweet tropical fruit notes. Bitter citrus peel dominant in-mouth, with a long grassy bitter finish. A smooth mouthfeel and a medium body. We’ll crafted.

Half on tap at Architect, Stirchley, Birmingham. Semi hazed gold with small wispy head. Very citrus noted with a zest like zing running through, with a light funkiness. Light, refreshing but packs a bitter punch. I quite enjoyed it,
