Half cask at Sheffield Tap. Clear golden pour with a nice creamy white head, thick lacing. Bready, biscuity aroma with a fruity edge. Taste is fresh white bread, crackers with faint notes of apples and pears. A bit dry at the finish.

Cask at Greyhound, Stafford. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. There’s malts in the aroma plus hints of coffee. Malts to the fore again in the mouth, alongside autumn fruits and rye. Later there are traces of chocolate and liquorice. Fruitiness lasts into the dry finish. This was OK, but not really a stout at all – more a strong dark ale. MAY REQUIRE A RERATE

Cask at the Minster Inn, York. Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aromas of malted milk biscuit and light red fruit. Taste is more of the same. Thin finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Golden Ball, York September 2023. Golden in colour, with plenty of citrus character, rich tea malts and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
