Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 29/11/08 as ’mulberry dark’. Chestnut brown with reddish undertones and an off-white head that left attractive lacing down the glass. Aroma of dried fruit, spice and a hint of roastiness. Flavour began with some caramel, before preserved fruits, cinnamon and a bitter finish. Original and very good.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel, Northampton. A dark brown beer with a tan coloured head. The aroma has smoky notes, burnt malts and caramel. The taste has coffee notes together with more swet caramel and a hint of burnt malt. Pretty nice.
