Appearance - Light rocky head a top a dark ruby amber brew that shows no CO2 at all. The colour is good but the head is a bit of a let down on this one to be honest.

Smell - A really good nose to be found here with brown and cane sugar, prune, raisin, stewed plums, caramel and sweet pastry. It smells much like a plum crumble made by my mother.

Taste - The nose would have you expect that there is almost no hop presence in here but that is wrong. The hop and malt balance here is done quite well. The initial taste has all the elements of the nose such as cane sugar, stewed fruits and biscuit like malts so that it is rather like a liquid crumble, however there is a kicky little hop tweak in there that balances well.

MF - Like the Stout from Hunters this beer is slightly thin but it has a great long lived drying linger that is its saving grace in the mouth feel side of things.

Overall - Another good beer from the boys down in Devon there are some flaws but the beers overall flavour is good and that is the most important element in my opinion... after all a beer could look like God himself brewer it but taste like the Devils piss while another look like shit but taste divine and I know which one I'd go for.

Hand-pulled half-pint at a beer festival in The Firs Club, Codsall on 17 Nov 2012. Really pleased to see this at the festival as I enjoyed the bottled version so much and wanted to try a cask one.

Lovely looking: just like the bottled one, cracking chestnut reddy colour, full and deep white head.

The smell was a fine mix of floral notes, semi-sweet molasses and hints of that 8% of alcohol.

Tastes great: malts to the fore with a mildly bitter finish with a host of flavours too numberous to mention.

Just a very good beer from start to finish: I only had a half because I wanted to try other beers at the fest, otherwise I'd have sat next to the pump all afternoon and got pickled before tea!
