Pint on tap at Crown & Anchor, Manchester. Slight malt nose, clear still red/brown ale with solid white head. Bitter taste, creamy consistency. Aftertaste is metallic hops and a little toasted malt. Nice, but served too cold for the style.

Half pint at Norfolk Arms, Glossop. I thought I’d give this its tenth review. No aroma. Pale amber with tiny head, medium carbonation. Chalky sweet mouthfeel followed by short vegetal hop finish. Not much happening, good thirst quencher.

Pint on tap at Norfolk Arms, Glossop. Slight honey nose. Clear still golden beer with small solid white head. Watery mouthfeel, sour taste. Finish is more citric sourness. Maybe some honey right at the very end. Maybe......

50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell. A attractive deep reddish chestnut colour with a thick creamy beige head; the aroma has some raisins and demerara sugar, and also some damp earth; the mouthfeel is creamy with a complex blend of flavours - some bittersweet chocolate, some purple fruit, coffee and raw cane sugar, all balanced by a pleasant bitterness; and rounded off by a dry, warming, nutty finish. Rather good.

Appearance is very dark brown, light brown edges, off-white head which disappears quickly. Aroma- caramel, a bit of chocolate, dark malts, raisin. Taste- dark fruit undertones, chocolate, caramel, roast malt, some carbonation to clear things up. Nice brew.
