Bottle, Legendary Lancs Heroes, Crosby. Didn’t have especially high hopes for this for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised...Appealing amber colour with a white head. Fruity, sweetish malty aroma. Malty toffee tinged flavour, with a dash of hop. Clean tasting and refreshing with a dry finish. No major grumbles here at all. Why tie a beer into a film which is more than 30 years old though ? Crap idea, doubtless cooked up by a chinless marketing exec, but not a bad beer. In the words of the Frenchman.... I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! That’s my 2 Fiddy up !

[on draught at the Old Road Tavern, Chippenham, Wiltshire] Tastes more like a golden ale at first but with a rough-and-ready earthy follow through. Drinkable but nothing special. Re-rate 21/4/2009 at the Peaks Inn, Castleton: Amber, mineral taste with some sulphur, leads into a very bitter, earthy finish. Not to my taste. c6

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a redish glare and a semi creamy off-white head. Light roasted malt aroma with a light coffee-ish note. Flavour is roasted malt and coffee with a light liqourice edge from the hops. Nicely balanced and with just enough sweetness to counter balance the roasted profile. Light coffee-ish finish mixed with liqourice. Dry bitterness in the far finish. Nice one.
