Clearish cola coloured. Medium light tan head. Earthy and minty, herbal nose where cola notes rise up amongst minerally and greenish, wooden undertones. Undefined fruitiness is there all along, perhaps pear-like. It never goes too sweet while developing its liquorice-like flavours. Not the biggest blockbuster, but well built ale.

Cask conditioned at Brecon Beer Festival, Castle Hotel, Brecon, Powys. Dark brown with malt head. Sweetish full flavoured beer, particularly fruity malty, more a mild in my view than a stout. Some licorice with a touch of treacle, moorish.

Cask gravity at Reading BF. Very dark brown, bubbly beige head. Liquoricey stout. Some choc in mouth, bit too sour liquoricey for me. Fairly intense aroma, not my kinda thing though.
