Third of a pint on cask at the Barnsley Beer Festival.
Thin beige head. Clear almost black pour. Lots of chocolate. A bit sweet.

Stockport Beer Festival 2026 Beer#11. Hazy light golden coloured brew. It's quite a sweet Saison in design, notable because this lingers long, attached to a mild tropical fruitiness.

Stockport Beer Festival 2026 Beer#8. Hazy golden coloured pick-me-up styled brew. It has good orange fruit notes that excel in aftertaste, beyond its fizzy drinking texture.

11/4/2026. Cask at the Isle of Man CAMRA 13th Beer & Cider Festival. Good pour. Aroma is dark malts, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, pine, light nutty and liquorice notes. Moderate sweetness, medium and developing roasted bitterness. Good body, average to soft carbonation. Good robust and traditional feel to this one. Enjoyed it.

Three at the bar as all other seats are taken. Clear golden keg pour, with quite a dry texture and aftertaste. It's hoppy though at a flavoursome level, with a sweetish aroma and taste.

Three colours black to finish a colourful Northern Monk bar trio. This is the one that isn't a Monk beer, but just like the Three Colours movies you have to throw in a twist at the end! It's a bonifide mild, but not overly flavoursome, however the style is good and recognisable. There's some good roasted character in its aroma, which is arguably its most enjoyable characteristic. It looks the part too. Feels weak in the palate.

On tap at Runaway Brewery Tap. Pours a murky golden yellow with no head whatsoever. The aroma is muted – just hints of citrus and caramel. In the mouth it starts off slightly sweet and juicy but after a short while it suddenly becomes extremely bitter. That is because the chilli has kicked in and dominates the previous lime and salt flavouring. The flames last into the bitter finish. This is OK, but somewhat weird to say the least !
