Cask @ Dirty Dicks, Halifax. What the relevance of a distorted Mickey Rooney on the pump clip is I am not sure other than the name of course. Dark golden in colour with a thick creamy head. It’s fairly thin tasting, although crisp, however the maltiness that is there is not bad. A touch grainy but provides some substance to the ale.

Cask @ Three Pigeons, Halifax. Not quite, but for arguments sake it’s black it’s that close! Has a creamy slightly off-white head. Has light but obvious roasted malts in its aroma. A little more soapy in its taste, a little towards a porter in this respect with an easy drinking body.

Cask @ Dirty Dicks, Halifax. Golden-amber with a creamy head. Lighter malts in nose with a more balanced malt-hop flavour, with the malts perhaps still dominant.
