Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 5/10/2013. Opaque and jet black with a thin tan head. Massive aroma of coffee beans and plain chocolate, with a touch of vanilla lurking in the background. full mouth feel, with a big chocolate malt edge, more coffee, some tobacco and a vague lactose tang before a rich finish. An excellent, complex beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 5/10/2013. Hazy gold with a decent white head. Sweetish aroma of grains, mandarins and grapefruit with a touch of floral hop. Flavour had plenty more sweet fruits, a hint of yeastiness and a dryish finish. Good.

Cask on gravity at the Ashley Down brewery 20/92013. Slightly hazy amber with a thin, off-white head. Tangerines and pineapple, some cereal mlats, grassy hops and a dryish finish. I would agree with the comment below about it lacking a bit of body, but still enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 5/10/2013. Dark brown with a hint of red and decent tan head. Sweet, brown sugar and prune aroma with a touch of roastiness. Flavour had a lot more sweetness upfront, with a touch of coffee coming through in the finish. Ok.
