Cask at The Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a dark ruby colour with good clarity and a medium tan head. Not particularly appealing aroma of stewed apple and some toffee. Fruity flavour with slight acidity and a hint of copper. Fuller, more bitter palate of coffee and roasted malt.

Cask at GBBF 2013. It pours deep brown with a bubbly beige head. The nose is earthy, soft roast, cocoa, treacle, chocolate and touch of dark fruit. The taste is soft roast, toast, coffee, light ash, dark fruit and good bitter bite with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good balance and high drinkability. Tasty.

Bottled. Cloudy deep golden, huge firm head. Light raspberry aroma. Mid sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Plenty of orange blossom, honey and raspberry. Resiny bitterish finish. A reasonably good take on a hopeless style.
