A well-balanced, chestnut-coloured brew, with a dry, light roast palate, hints of malt and a delicate, toffee nose – named after the old River Mersey Wharf, close to the brewery.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Pale chestnut colour, lasting beige head. Classic butterscotch diacetyl on aorma. ONe of the best examples of butterscotch I’ve had. Rest of the beer is a slightly sub par bitter.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Gold with a dense cream head; sweet malt aroma; sharp acidic fruit flavour with a touch of pear drops; lightly bitter finish. Rather unsettling.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 3/11/09. Copper coloured with next to no head. Sweet, malty bitter with red fruit and caramel, a slightly rustic edge to the flavour and moderately bitter finish. Not so good.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Amber-chestnut with a moderate white head. Oak and malt aroma. A smooth, rich, easy-drinking bitter with lots of toffee and just enough woodiness to balance it out. Good stuff.
