Cask @ Beer Shack, Burnley. Dark amber-brown with a thin head. It doesn’t have a high bitterness but it’s within this style with plenty of tasty grain and biscuit notes. Has a sweetness that’s greatest in its nose.

9th April 2015: gravity pour at the Isle of Man CAMRA beer festival. Red hue to the amber colour, a creamy head, with good lacing as the beer level fell. Aroma had a malty, fruity feel as did the taste, semi-sweet with a caramel hint or two, the finish slightly more hop bitter than the rest of the beer.

Cask: half-pint at the 2014 Lincoln Beer Festival. Dark brown body to this malty brew, the nose giving nothing away, it’s the taste that is dominated by the maltiness. Fairly bitter but the malts rule the flavouring completely, maybe a mild hop bitterness in the finish, but only very slight.

Tried at the CAMRA Lincoln beer festival 2014. Not a full rating as drunk as part of a whole day session. Since tried at the three horseshoes, Waddington and slightly updated. Decent enough bitter. Very drinkable.
