Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a hazy / cloudy golden amber with a small frothy off-white head. The aroma has malts and creamy biscuits. In the mouth it is sweet but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has floral hops and mandarin (tinned oranges) plus traces of melon and grapefruit. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. This is OK, but a bit of a mess really.

On tap at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a murky raspberry red with minimal white head. Coconut is very strong in the aroma. In the mouth the main flavours are cherries and raspberries plus hints of strawberries, and somec coconut underneath. It’s bitter rather than sour, and even vthen there is a sweet streak as well. OK, but a bit eun of the mill.

On tap at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours jet black with no discernable head. Some vanilla in the aroma, but it’s barely noticeable. Much more in the taste line. Dark fruits may be the most obvious, but tonka beans, vanilla and chocolate aren’t far behind. Overall it’s sweet, with just a hint of alcoholic strength. Finish has more chocolate than anything else. A reassuringly complex beer with plenty of character.
