Handpull cask at the Organ Grinder, Arnold. A gorgeous black with a full but quickly dissipating beige head. Smells of chocolate fudge and almonds/amaretto which a touch of Gritty maly below. The sweet taste is dominated by amaretto, a nice flavour but too superimposed on the beer. Turns slightly bitter, even a bit tart in the finish. Thick tongue coating body and soft to nil carbonation. A reasonable flavoured session stout but that little bit gimmicky.

Handpull cask at the Queens Head, Marlpool. Light to mid-gold and clear with a smallring of white head and generous lacing. The aroma is light bordering on dull (some citrus Ringland grassy notes) but the taste is resplendent: intense tropic fruit with tampering and grapefruit juice, turning from mildly sweet to nicely bitter in the finish. The bitterness lingers long after the sip. Oily body, low to no carbonation. Excellent stuff.
