On cask @ the Black Swan, Pickering. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate but dark fruits too. Slight glycerine thing which gives a Ribena concentrate note. Taste - more blackcurrants and dark chocolate intermingled. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and the finish is nicely balanced with dry malt notes. Overall - good beer, the best of their three.

On keg at the Black Swan in Pickering. Appearance - light lemon with a white cloudiness. Nose - bananas, floral, quite sweet. Taste - banana confirmed with pineapple too. Palate - light bodied with a tangy middle section that finishes in a mixture of sweet and dry. Overall - this was supposed to be half lager, half wit and it definitely resembles some of the Wit characteristics.
