Cask at Flowerpot, Derby. Pours a deep golden yellow with a small off-white head. The alcoholic strength is very evident in the nose, along with general citrus. Plenty of alcohol in the mouth too, with a creamy, slightly oily texture. Flavours of tangerine, apricot and floral hops are evident too leading to a dry and bitter finish. Bit of a hard one to categorise, “strong ale” seems like a cop out. How about “imperial golden ale” ? Anyway, it’s a good beer for sipping.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with a small white head. There are hints of caramel in the nose, but not much else. Sweet malts on a caramel base is the initial flavour with mushy apples coming through later, along with hints of nuts, citrus and traditional hops. Texture is a bit watery and finish is fairly sweet. A very good traditional bitter.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazed, deep orange gold. Nicely dense, thin, lasting, shiny white head. Nose has shades of lavender and your Nan’s flat. Some buttery malt. Taste has a slightly metallic bitterness, and a buttery sweetness. Medium body. Fine crisp carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Not anywhere near this brewer’s usual standard.

500ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester, and drunk at home. Dark brown, opaque with a thin khaki head. Scent of plum and raisin with notes of dark chocolate and ash. Bitterness to the taste, with some sweetness mid-sip disappearing and into a slight acrid finish with chocolate and more plum notes. Oily body, medium carbonation. Not overly keen but it's drinkable
