Cask @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Black with a small off-white head. It's a smooth ale with light vanilla notes, with an obvious strength to the ale behind this.

Cask. North Riding Brew Pub, Scarborough. Clear, very dark brown. Thin, and bubbly, lasting, tan head. Dark chocolate, and coffee malts. Dark cherry tang. Taste is bittersweet. A little dryness. Smooth palate, with a liqueur booziness. Finishes dry, with more of the bittersweet tang. Nice one.
