A collaboration between Cropton and Mike Hall, brewer at North Peak Brewery in Michigan, produced mainly for Nicholsons / Mitchells & Butlers pubs. Although the names of this range of beers correspond to beers made by North Peak, the ABVs and recipes differ considerably from their namesakes’. Note that the branding on the pump clips often excludes any information regarding the provenance.

Cask, handpump at The Palace, Kirkgate, Leeds, W.Yorks 18.03.12 in company of dad & Barry Conker brown with a reddy glint and creamy off white head. Fruity in the mouth with some tangy fruit skins adding a bit of bite to this. Cherry shows a little but overall its ok and whilst I didn’t mind it I wouldn’t necessarily rush out to hunt this beer out again. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask at The Three Greyhounds, Nicholson’s, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a small, creamy tan cap. Some dusty, dirty dark malts in the aroma. Lightly sweet flavor, very little ’cherry’ presence, some bitter cocoa, dull earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweet with with an oddly abrasive bitterness. Some burnt, bitter cocoa. Doesn’t do it for me.
