330ml bottle. Pitch black colour with average, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Intense chocolate aroma, notes of liquorice. Taste is sweetish with notes of treacle and liquorice; very soft palate, somehow fallen asleep.

Cask at the Lyric - Soho, London. Pours clear gold with a slight, bubbly white head. The aroma holds buttery bread, hints of caramel, soap and orange. Light sweet flavor with grainy malts, mild butterscotch, ripe citrus fruits. Light bodied with soft carbonation. More bread and butterscotch in the finish with light bitter hay and grain husks. Mediocre. Condition is lacking.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours lightly hazy gold with a medium, white cream head. Doughy malt nose, some white sugar. Medium sweet flavor, more basic white sugar. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary sweet finish, more dough. It’s fine. Not complex or anything close to it, but enjoyable.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. 5.8%. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is floral hops. The flavour is medium bitter with a thin bodied, hoppy, weak liqourice, citrus fruit palate and a short bitter finish. Needs a little more on the hop front I feel, but a decent session beer.
