Cask, handpump at The Silkmill, Derby 30-01-10 in company of Loz, Simon (Haddonsman) my dad and Pauline I understand from reading some local CAMRA publications that relatively new beer has already won an award in the strong bitter category at a recent East Midlands Festival so I was keen to try this as the Blue Monkey Beers I’ve tried so far have been lovely. Pours warm gold edging towards a very light amber difficult to be precise in the light of this pub. Some pleasant mineral type flavours on the tongue, with a good smattering of tingly hoppiness, its clean, very, very drinkable and another belter from Blue Monkey. A7 A5 F7 P4 Ov14 3.7

Cask, handpump at The Old Oak, Horsley Woodhouse, Derbyshire 29-01-10 Pours almost black with an off-white head. There is a little coffee on the nose and its got a nice rosty maltiness. Taste is very good a combination of roastiness and spent coffee grains with measured but lengthy bitterness. The coffee hangs for a while but through it all there is a hoppiness that clings to the roof of the mouth with the coffee. Nice stuff. A6 A4 F8 P4 Ov14 3.6
