Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of citrus, grass, grain and cereal. Grass, herb and citrus come though on the taste. Quite malty and with a metallic aftertaste.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Clear brown colour with a small creamy head. Sweet stout, although its sweetness seems to negate any classic stout character. As such, and despite its strength, it feels quite a mild example of this style.

Cask at the Red Lion with sea views in Cromer. Golden with a small head and glow. Hoppy with a fair strength evident in both aroma and taste. Mild sweetness too.

Full family walk from Overstrand to Cromer (for an excellent ice cream) and back again. It was a bit warm and tiring for all, particularly the big dog which had to be carried for the last bit by the middle daughter. Ended up in the White Horse in Overstrand which had a superb selection of cask beers and I had half of this. I have a strong suspicion I was the first person to have this on the day because it just wasn't quite right. Anyway, I picked up a fresh dressed crab from a little shop in Overstrand and a superb white burgundy, bread, salad and new potatoes from Waitrose. It's going to be a good night

Almost clear deep amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth but very mellow dark malts. A little creamy sweetness into modest chocolate biscuit and sweet slightly bubblegum esters. Smooth and mildly dry finish. Well it's tasty and drinkable, I can even forgive the esters, what it comes down to is drinkability and I don't think I would want a pint.
