Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a clear chestnut with small off white head. Aroma of bread, caramel, dried fruit, citrus zest, some hop spice. Taste of light tart dried fruits, roast, caramel, molasses, nuts, bitter edgy finish. Near medium bodied, fine carbonation. Good ESB.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Light brown, clear with a ring of beige head. Caramel aroma, light mineral spiciness, hints of date syrup. Sweet and slightly spicy with more date and some black grape to the fore, fading to a little bit of bitterness and a slightly dry finish. Light body, high carbonation. Masterful.

21/8/2020. Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours clear bright amber/bronze with a small bubbly/frothy off-white head. Great looking beer. Aroma is toasted, toffee, fruit, berries, malt, biscuit. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. Slight earthy bitter finish. Nice, and easily the best of the Hexhamshire beers we shared today.

500ml bottle: BBE Nov 2021. Drank at home on 3rd Aug 2020. Chestnut brown body, beige head. Nutty and earthy, with a strong malty base. Hedgerow fruits, bitter hops, it's an Old School ESB and lovely.

Bottle from the Northumberland Beer Box. Grainy aroma with sour berries and hints of coffee. Opaque dark chestnut. Creamy translucent off-white head. Light-medium bitter with a sour edge that gradually dominates. Some sweetness on the periphery. Rich malts and dark berries. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent. Good stuff.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Appearance - deep amber to red, chestnut as the man says. Nose - honeycomb and milk chocolate. Taste - hazelnut, honeycomb and chocolate. Palate - medium bodied and lightly sweet. Crunchy and still a little sweet on the finish. Overall - good though would prefer a little bit more biscuit bitterness.
