Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Very very dark brown, lasting thin beige head. Now that’s my kinda stout, just a touch of sweetness to balance the good roasted malts. Very satisfying, could drink many pints of this. Dry finish. Good.

On gravity at the London Drinker festival 11/03/10. Deep gold with no head. Sweet, toffeeish aroma with some orange hops. Flavours of butterscotch, apricot and a moderately bitter finish. Too sweet for me.

6th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Pretty bland golden ale with a slight note of sulfur on the nose that carries over to the taste.

9th July 2008. BBE of Nov 2006! Quite a soft porter. The port doesn’t really present itself other than possibly being responsible for the pronounced fruity tone. Not too dry.
