Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s a lovely strong aroma of fruit cake and plum pudding. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with treacle, chocolate and dark fruits prominent. Later on spices come through strongly, plus hints of vanilla and coffee. Malts and coffee in the finish. This is a very nice spicy winter warmer.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 29 October 2021. Ruddy brown in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hops, some red berry fruit character, bready malts with a trace of toastiness, leading to a gently bitter finish. Good.

Hand-pulled pint in The Fighting Cocks, Oakengates, Shropshire on 11th November 2021. White crown on a clean golden body, looked good. Fruity with a citrus leaning, nice balance and an easy drinking ale.

Have drunk this on occasion before, but not rated it. Cask at Posada, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark amber with a small foamy white head and good lacing. Exudes a slightly sweet malty aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with flavour of malt load and dark fruits with underlying hints of caramel and vanilla. Finish is fairly sweet too. A nice solid traditional bitter – of the kind that is becoming all too rare.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel (a Shrewsbury Wetherspoons) on 25th October 2021. Red hue to the deep amber body, off-white head that stayed around. Caramel esters and flavours rule this fairly sweet brew, light fruitiness from the hops.
