On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - close to opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - more toffee than chocolate. Light charcoal note. Taste - burnt toffee, some dried fruit, light biscuit. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry if slightly astringent finish. Overall - interesting beer and not bad.

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.
