Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol, 14/04/09. Dark brown in colour with reddish undertones. Big red fruit aroma, with some dark chocolate. Flavour was sweetish, with some more fruit, roasted malts and a soft, vaguely bitter finish. Ok.

Medium brown lasting head. Deep dark red body. Faint fruity spicy aroma. Dry-sweet wooden floral taste with dried dusty fruit notes. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish roasty wooden fruity aftertaste with dusty hoppy notes and a faint burntness. Very nice, and highly drinkable. (0.25l cask, The Bridge House, Little Venice, London.)

Very dark reddy brown, small light tan head. Rich nutty grainy aroma, some husks. Soft palate. Peanutty and legumy taste. Quite potent late hop taste stays in the mouth for the finish.
