Cask at The White Horse 'Back to Normalish weekend', Hedgerley, Bucks. A black coloured pour with a thin bubbly beige head on top. Roasty, malty, caramel, chocolate aroma and taste, I rather enjoyed this one from Crafty Monkey.

Cask at Reading BF. Hazy dark amber with an off-white head. Very bitter from the off. Fruity, then sweeter caramel comes through. Grew on me but not enough.

Cask at Half Moon, Darlington. Black colour with reddish tinge, biege foam head that dissipates away and aroma of dark malt, leathery. Taste is sweet, barley malt, molasses, with leather, soy sauce, dark fruit, aniseed notes, milky hints and light bitterness. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry finish with lingering aniseed. Quite drinkable
