330ml bottle from Beer Huis, Ossett - Thick black body, thick tan head initially, fading to a thin lacing film. Nose is dark chocolate, liquorice, smoke, boozy roasted malts amongst others. Taste is a strong burnt nutty mouthful, smoky, bitter with a lovely robust mouthfeel. Excellent effort.

Bottle @ Chriso May 14 tasting. Pours hazy amber with sweet fruity aroma. Has potential but taste falls a bit flat and the earthy sweet flavours donโt quite make it through. Disappointing.

Chriso May 2014 tasting. Hazy amber lasting white head. Not a great aroma. Some weird fruit flavours in the mouth. Sweet crystalline fruit. Tangy.

Bottle from Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Clear, dark brown. Finest halo of tan head. Dark fruit. Light smoke. Hint of liquorice. Taste is sweet, light smokiness. Smooth palate with light carbonation. Finish is dry and light fruitiness. Not enough smoke character, but very easy drinking. Liked it.

Opaque black - brown beer. Patchy pale tan head. Smooth palate with fine minerally carbonation. Smooth mild dark malt, dry. No roast or bitterness. Very mild coffee and mellow smooth smoke. Touch of estery sweetness underneath. Smooth dry finish. Itโs okay but was hoping for more from these good brewers.

Bottle from Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, copper colour. No head. Barley sugar. Red fruit. Soft toffee. A hint of minty, herbiness. Taste is cough syrup sweet. Herbal dryness. Lots of taste. And then I had a glass with some Stichelton cheese. At which point the beer came alive. A bit clunky on its own. A blinder with the right snap.
