Cask-conditioned at the Annex, Bristol 3/4/08. Dark, opaque, ruddy brown with a tight tan head that left a lot of lacing down the glass. Big aroma of sweet malts, chocolate and red fruit. Full mouth-feel, with sweet flavours of fruit and more chocolate. Hard to classify, but drinkable.

Cask, The Crown, Nuneaton. Murky orange, white slick. Yeasty aroma with hints of strawberry and redcurrant. Yeasty berry flavour, perfumey spice hints, house earth and sesame, a finishing chocolate creaminess. Another OK Cottage beer in The Crown.

Cask Handpump at Ye Cracke, Liverpool 02/03/2008 Malt and fruit aromas. Copper amber coloured crisp on the palate slightly pale and malty with some dryness and bitterness in the finish.
