Pint on cask. Deep ruby dark with brilliant clarity. Dense and creamy off-white head. Rich malty aroma. The initial flavour starts with fresh flowers and turns into caramell with supporting fruitiness and bitterness. Well balanced. A pleasant surprise! (Served in well keptt condition at Ye Old Mitre, Holborn 20.09.2006).

Cask gravity at Bowl Inn, Charing, BF 2006. Very hazy russet colour. Thick lasting beige head. Yeast and red berry aroma. OK in mouth, fullish good malt. Dry finish, bit earthy, red fruits. Pretty good red fruit malt bitter with very hoppy finish.

Well, this version was really strange, it was like water, like the Dragon Stout one, maybe the Cask was not enough.

Cask@The Roebuck, Richmond, London. Red appearance, fruity hop aroma. Palate is initially malty and sweetish, with some light nuttyness. Finish, is fresh and hoppy, with some kiwi fruit in there, quite nice actually, fruity, innofensive.
