Cask at Harkers Arms, Chester. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head. Quite a mixture in the aroma, malts, autumn fruits and dried apricots. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with an underlying bitterness. Flavour has malts, traditional hops, nuts and a hint of spices. Berry fruits come in later and are the mainstay of the finish. Not at all bad.

[50cl bottle from the Garden Centre at Burleigh Dam on the Wirral.] A bright pale amber pour with lots of carbonation and a thick white head; fresh hedgerow hop aroma; fresh hoppy taste with some blackberry fruit; then a dry lightly spiced hoppy finish. Excellent.

Cask at Telford’s Warehouse, Chester. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. It was served far too cold, so difficult to tell anything about the taste. However… Traces of oats and roast malts in the aroma. In the mouth it has a creamy texture and is slightly sweet. Roast malts and some hints of chocolate – which get stronger as it progresses. Rerate is required.

Bottle from the Black Toad. Appearance - golde and clalear with a vug fluffy white head. Nose - cornflakes, light lemon. Taste - cornflakes, honey. Palate - light bodied, could be fresher on the finish. Overall - not an awful lot going on.
