On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - dark brown with a nice head. Nose - dried fruits, wholemeal bread and a tiny bit of smoke. Taste - fruitcake, gentle smoke again, burnt raisin note on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish, bordering on astringent but good. Overall - yeah, interesting ale. Complex.

On cask at the White Lady. Appearance - dark brown to black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - elusive at first, then burnt toffee comes through. Taste - toffee, liquorice, charcoal, burnt molasses. Palate - close to medium bodied with a dry burnt texture through the middle section and this continues through the finish. Overall - quite complex but the burnt note is a bit too persistent to make it truly enjoyable.
