Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’08. Dark chestnut with slight malt head. Dark, roasty toasted notes, quite plummy with notes of liquorice and coffee overlaid with a sweetish caramel. Chocolate in the finish. Good stuff.

Jul 5, 2008 Cask at Macclesfield Beer festival. Dark brown with creamy yellow head. Chocolate, coffee, with a bitter aftertaste, Could do with a little more life. Didn’t care for it much but it certainly isn’t rubbish, just didn’t fly my kite.

May 11, 2008 Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 Pours dark brown with some nice ruby gints and an off white head. Good bitterness, nice roasty and chocolatey notes, this isn’t quite as memorable as it was the previous night when Glen passed me a little but its very decent stuff nonetheless.
