Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden brown with a medium sized scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops with hints of citrus and mango. In the mouth it has no great flavour at first with a little sweetness giving way to slight bitterness after a time. More flavour comes through later, starting with malts, floral hops and autumn fruits. Later still come traces of spice, alcohol and citrus. Finish is sweet and slightly dry. This is somewhat on the bland side.

Notater fra Furuveien, sammen med Petro og Per: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Citrus, urter, krydder. Frisk og lettdrikkelig med god ettersmak preget av krydder og furunål. Mye drikkeglede i en lettøl. 0,5 flaske fra Marens importkoffert.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Starts mild, malty, spicy. More and more fresh hoppy notes, some lemon. Mild bitter background. Shy metallical touch. Finish well balanced, again with nice fresh hoppy notes. Not bad!

Old notes from Jan 2015- I had previously been really impressed with the one & only beer I'd had from Ilkley Brewing, so had been looking forward to this bottle. It pours a decent looking brown ale with a brown head. It tastes of caramel but after that it was down hill.. the bitterness was far to strong for me. A mixture of US & New Zealand hops according to the bottle label. I just know that it was a hard 500ml to get through.

Postmen used to deliver twice a day in years gone by.
Light easy water here, not a stated hoppiness but decent fruity notes are evident. Some sugars.

Jet black pour, small beige head. First thing I got off the aroma was a punch of smokey Chipotle.... Then I look at the commercial description, and it all makes sense. Lots of smoke, and Chipotle. Very bitter, with some distinct pepper flavours, with the slightest tinge of heat. As it warms the cocoa comes through with a subtle sweetness.
