Hand-pulled pint at The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 31st Aug 2020. Black bodied, creamy tanned head. Coffee and dark chocolate in both the aroma and slick taste, this is a smooth and fairly rich, malty Stout and very 'drinkable'.

Hand pulled half-pint in the Tap & Can, Shrewsbury on 26th July 2020. Amber body, off-white crown. Nose and taste had a caramalt feel, my sweet tooth really took to this.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a mid-brown amber with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma of malts and nuts. However, in the mouth fruits dominate. Mainly sweet but with some bitterness, cherries and marzipan. A slightly bitter but fruity finish as well. This is nice – a much better bitter than their award winning Ay Up.

Hand-pulled half-pint at The Phesant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 21st Feb 2020. Golden pour, smooth white crown on top. Citrus leanings in both the aroma and taste, easy drinking beer that isn't going to test your senses too greatly and certainly not upset them.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a very pale yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Has an aroma of fresh hops laid on a general citrus bed. Hops and citrus again in the mouth, but with some crisp apple freshness as well. Finish is dry and hoppy. Undemanding but nice.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a ruby red with a small white head and good lacing. Has a strong malty nose, with a hint of sugary sweetness. It the mouth it is sweet, but with some sharpness on the edges. Taste of plums, malts and rasisins. A classic bitter finish to round things off. A good traditional strong bitter. I really like it – perhaps my favourite Dancing Duck beer.
