28/2/2019. From cask at the ORB, courtesy of Danlo, cheers Ed! Pours mid brown with a bubbly off-white to beige head. Aroma of malt loaf, toffee, fruit, berries, hops, biscuit and light chocolate with nice roasted notes. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Light roasted bitterness to finish. Very nice.

Cask at ORB, Darlington. Deep red-brown colour, creamy biege foam head leaving lacing and aroma of floral hops, malt. Taste is sweet & malty, with alittle chocolate biscuit, lots of floral fruity orange hops and tangy bready notes. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry tangy finish. Very drinkable.
