Commercial Description:
Cask: Regular.
A dark premium beer with an unusual medley of flavours. It is rich and malty with a roasted stout-like edge, yet also light and dry with spiciness and fruit, from the blend of hops: Exuberant American Cascade restrained by traditional English Fuggles with a touch of Bramling Cross.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Dark brown colour, small off-white head. Aroma has roasted malts, nuts and caramel. Flavour of roasted malts, slight touch of fruity hops and chocolate. Medium bodied. Decent stout.

Bright bottled at Thanet Easter Beer Fest. The Winter Gardens, Margate. I quite like that bitter/premium bitter is such an encompassing "style" - however when it gets to this very stout like point I think we have to accept that it is not simply a dark and stout like bitter, but that it’s a stout - or, failing that, it’s an old ale. This is more unusual than normal in that it also has the cascades on top. Some vanilla notes are also interesting. A bit of a mongrel maybe, but more than acceptably tasty and working very well. Nice one!

Cask (gravity) @ Marble Arch, Manchester M4, UK. Clear dark brown color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, caramel, licorice - cola. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration and a smooth dry finish. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. ;o) (180108)

Bottle at home ... Deep Deep Brown ... little smokey roast malts little peppery nose ... quite thin but quite chocolate malts, quite a lot of roast... little bitterness ... more a stout than a bitter

Bottle thanks to ronnie. Aroma is rich spicey malts, peppery and slightly roasty, brown sugar and cinnamon. Taste is a similar bag of tricks however its thinner than expected and dry. I was slightly disapointed here as had loads of potential.
