On cask at the Wheatsheaf in Wetheral. Appearance - amber with a lovely creamy head. Nose - butterscotch I’m afraid but maybetit’s fudge. Taste - more butterscotch and malt. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a slightly astringent finish. Overall - not worth getting another.

500ml Bottle from Beers of Europe: drank at home on 2nd July 2014. Poured into a Bateman’s pint sleeve. Clear amber to copper body with a full but fading off-white head. Nice blend of aromas and flavours, malts lead the way in both the nose and taste, lightly roasted, bread like in fact. The hops are there but in the background somewhat. Good depth of body for a 3.8% ABV brew.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber, little to no head. Light malt loaf aromas, dried fruit, bit of butterscotch. Taste hasn’t got a right lot going on. Bit watery. Ok.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear pale gold beer. Light dry palate. No real head. A little fruit in there but it’s all a bit too dry and insipid to be enjoyable.
