Cask at GBBF 2006. A dark brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is spicy malty - a bit weird spicyness. The flavor is sweet malty again with the weird spicyness, leading to a dry bitter and woody end.

Oak cask. Dark brown colour with a red hue. Nice malty aroma. Malty/sweet, slightly salty flavour. A little burning sensation, alcohol or spices? Nice hint of mould.

Cask@GBBF2007. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel, licorace and honey. Flavour is the same along with some wooden hints. Also alcohol (or something) shows as a small burning note.

<i>Cask Conditioned at The Roundhouse, London</i>
Dark chestnut color; creamy head (sprinkler). Nice caramel aroma. Quite round mouthfeel, good caramel flavor, in the end there is light chocolate too, and at the very end a touch of sweet liquorice; correct bitterness. Solid Ale, very good; it’s nice how the malt stick on the lips for some time.

Cask condition, handpull at Simple Simon’s, Canterbury. Very dark ruby, no head. Is it supposed to be this sour? The it warms up and this lovely dark fruit flavour comes out. Not huge hop, some dryness on end. Some liquorice and a bit of roasted malt with choc and coffee, but the dark fruits dominate.
