750ml bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear gold. Messy, sticky, white head. Leggy and oily in the glass. Looks like a 10%er! Nose has spicy biscuit malts. Orangey hop. Some lemon and lime. Hint of dried apricot. It’s no juicy banger, but overall it’s fruity and well balanced. Taste is fruity, oily, zesty bitter. Soft biscuit sweetness throughout. Robust, oily mouthfeel. Feels a tad heavy, mind. Long, fruity bitter finish, with some resiny characteristics coming through.

Black beer with an off-white head and a light, malty aroma. Flavour is lighter than I expected to. Earthy malt, bitter chocolate, some coffee as well.there’s a bit of fruitiness in the aftertaste too. It’s not spectacular but it’s a good, tasty stout and I could happily sit and have a few (though the 6.5% might be an issue on that front!)

Shared 750ml bottle. Clear and golden with a decent white head. Grapefruit aroma, floral, grapefruit and a little vanilla flavour, nicely balanced. Thick, slightly syrupy mouth feel which I liked. Good beer

Clear golden beer with a white head. Aroma is light citrus hop. Flavour follows suit: tart, grapefruity, bitter hop, a splash of malt comes through as well. For the strength and style it’s quite crisp and not sickly. Could perhaps have been chilled a bit more.

Slightly lively, clear yellow beer with a white frothy head. Aroma is tangy, lemony citrus. After that the taste is mellower than expected. Lemony hop, bittersweet and with a slightly savoury, biscuit-y edge. It’s a fairly bland golden bitter but it’s solid enough.

Reddish brown beer, clear round the edges, beige head. Light smell of coffee and fruit. Flavour is coffee and malt, somewhat bitter. There’s a bit of fruit buried in there as well but it’s mostly coffee. Pretty decent.

Bottle from that shop in Malton. Appearance - bright amber with a decent head. Nose - oatmeal and light toffee. Taste - more of the same but a bit grainy. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid citizen if a bit grainy.
