Pale and Dark Crystal Maris Otter malts unite to embrace a motherland of chewy toffee while fruits and berry flavours rush in. Styrian Goldings from the East and Nugget Hops from the West are allied in perfect harmony as pine and citrus hop flavours caress the taste buds. As a permanent beer Stone Faced is available throughout the year.

Cask at the Duke William, Stourbridge. Pours dark amber with a medium head. Aroma is dark fruity malt. Not much to start on the taste, but has a fruity malt finish, with a drop of coffee.

Cask, handpump at the Figure of Eight, JDW, Birmingham, 13-12-09 copper in colour with a slim white head. There is a touch of malt and hops on the nose. Classic bitter in style and taste with nice bitter twang, light fruitiness with a crisp dessert apple bite, slight earthiness, clean and very drinkable. I like this. A6 A5 F7 P4 Ov13 3.5
