Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a very dark red brown with a small tan head and good lacing. A nice heady mixture in the nose, almonds , vanilla and a soupcon of coffee. In the mouth there is an initial fruitiness which soon mutates into coffee and liquorice. The finish has chocolate and roast malts. Very nice – prefer this to their Dark Drake.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Very dark with a small creamy off-white head. Only a touch of spice, but enough to give it a nice drinking texture, fairly light with some roasted malts evident too.
