Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light to mid-gold with a loose white head. Floral and fruity hop aroma white white grape and sticky resinous notes to the fore. Bittersweet taste, a bit soapy with more white grape. Light astringwncy heading toward the finish but make no mistake that this is a sweet beer. Decent stuff marred just a bit by mid-sip messiness.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford – not listed in RateBeer. Pours a lovely shade of mahogany with a small cream head. Nose is powerful and features roast malts and raisins. In the mouth the texture is creamy with flavours of fruit, raspberries and raisins. Finish is a bit watery, but with some bitterness. Looks wonderful but taste doesn’t quite live up to it.

Third by cask on the third day of GBBF Winter 20, Astbury Bar. Shared with Finn. Pitch black body, remaining fawn-coloured head. Fair lacing. Grainy chocolate aromas, promising. Chocolate flavours followed by a prominent coffee touch towards the finish. Medium bodied. Could not spot the vodka part. Pleasant stout. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
