Bottle from Microbar in Manchester. Yellow-golden with next to no head. Has a mild hoppy character and its medium-body coupled with a tasty dry hop serves to give it a good feel in the palate. Malt-hop aroma.

Hand-pulled pint in The Philharmonic, Liverpool on 7th Feb 2014. Light amber with good lacing coming from a deep white head. The aroma was half hop, half malt, the taste similar but with a semi-bitter and dry finish. There were hints of citrus notes but not too strong. Medium bodied and easy to drink: not too exciting, but nothing wrong with it.

Called Head Brewer’s Reserve 2013 and The Junction in Huddersfield. Black with an off-white head. Has a lovely silky smooth rich texture with roasted malts in both aroma and taste although the strength is more than evident and takes a little away from these aspects.

Cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading. Wondered if this would live up to its reputation, and it does- just about. It’s black with no head. Sumptuous rich mouthfeel. Chocolate, tobacco and leather up front with a plum-like fruitiness following, giving more than a hint of port. The alcohol shows through as you drink more and by the end is really a little too obvious. Possibly a bit on the sweet side too, but a decent porter nevertheless.
