Bottle from Booths, Kirkby Lonsdale. Appearance - opaque black with an attractive fawn head. Nose - burnt toast, toffee, some honeycomb perhaps. Taste - liquorice, smoke, molasses, that kind of thing. Palate - close to medium bodied. The texture is both dry and creamy, if that makes sense. The finish is dry and crunchy. Overall - yep, good stout at session strength.

Bottle from Booths, Kirkby Lonsdale. Appearance - golden with a thin head that disappears quckly. Nose - lemon barley water. Taste - more lemon barley water, almost shandy-esque in fact. Light cardboard note at the back, but not too invasive. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly fresh finish. Overall - a bit simple and thin, to be honest.
