Rocky white head left a froth on a clear pale amber coloured body. Malt, caramel & grain aroma. Hops? Medium bodied, lively & cloying on the back. Bitter, grain, biscuit, pith & caramel tastes with a pithy finish. Standard English interpretation of a US IPA....

1/3 pint, cask at Rockingham Arms. Shared with Finn. Clear copper coloured body, film-type layer, poor lacing. Promising caramel nose, biscuit scent. Taste of caramel fruits, and a distant coffee note towards the ending. Satisfying. (London 16.11.2021).

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.
