Cask, third pint. Tasted on the 20/04/2019 at Port Street Beer House, Manchester (England). Bright brown colour with a dispersed tan head. Poor retention. Aroma is macchiato, nuts and roasted malts. Taste is coffee beans, machiatto and hazelnuts leading to a slightly watery coffee finish. Next one please!

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy amber-orange with a thin head. It's mainly light fruity over its stated enough hops. There's a bit of a fizz and some caramel evident. It looks dense tasting, but is lighter than its strength suggests.

Hazy deep amber - brown beer, residual pale tan head. Smooth palate, mild nibbly fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a little cream. Pretty coffee laden, smooth earthy coffee and a little fruity coffee. Spicy pine hops. Smooth semi dry finish. Spicy linger. A bit heavy handed on the coffee for me.

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Blonde with a head. It's somewhat like the pop drink, but not that pleasant seemingly with beetroot involved.

Bottle. Nose is fruity,plums, raisin, very pronounced pear drops, sweet. Taste follows; huge pear drops, plums, hint of anise / licorice, faint coco, slightly bready. Has something of the Belgian Dubble to the flavour profile I can't place. Always nice to see a Baltic Porter on the shelf/
