Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours almost black with a small tan head. The aroma has biscuits, fudge and roasted malts. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy, gooey texture. Flavour has roasted malts, chocolate, fudge, treacle and hints of oranges. Liquorice comes through quite strongly later leading to a fairly bitter finish. This is distinctly reasonable.

Cask @ The Hebden (formerly The Pub), Hebden Bridge. Black with a very small light-brown creamy head. Its fudge is decent and not overbearing - chocolate is perhaps best in its nose.

Handpull cask at the brewpub, Barnsley. Chestnut brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with s thick beige head. Light nutty aroma, some berry and stone fruit in the background. Sweet taste with a gorgeous little malty character, dipping into an almost sour woody character in the finish. It’s a lovely little biter but fails to quite hit the heights of the best examples of the style.

Handpull cask at the brewpub, Barnsley. Purplish black, barely translucent with a thin film of beige head and lots of lacing. Big notes of ash, charcoal (am I just imagining this due to the ‘Collier’ name?), some blueberry and plum. Taste is surprisingly sweet and rounded with dark stone fruit shining through. The back of the sip is more bitter, with added. liquorice character.oily full body with soft carbonation. Love this.
