Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Malts and chocolate can be found in the aroma – provided you search for them ! A little watery in the mouth, but otherwise sweet and fruity with chocolate, dark fruits and plums, all on a malty base. There’s also some smokiness and a few hops hanging around. Finish is fairly dry. A decent enough stout without setting the world alight.

500ml bottle from Tebay Services, following a mtb trip to Innerleithen, shared with haddock. Pours a clear golden yellow with good white foam. Pleasant lagery whiff prior to first sip which produces a good malty helles sweetness, crisp and gently bitter. Soft grain. Really enjoyable Cumbrian lager.
