Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark chestnut with minimal off-white head. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of malt. Bitter oranges are the mainstay in the mouth. There’s also some hops and berry fruits and a kick of alcohol strength. Finish a rather bitter. Not a bad beer, but I’ve tasted much better from Merlin

Dark brown colour. Aroma and flavour are quite strong with apple and dried fruits. Quite plummy too. A bit too sweet overall.

Cask (hand pump) at the Darlington Spring Thing Beer Festival 2011. ABV is 5.6%. Copper colour, slightly hazy. Low off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel. The flavour is both malty sweet and well hopped, with a dry and very sharp bitter finish. The alcohol is noticeable. I think a cooler temperature and more CO2 would have helped this one.
