Keg at Cloudwater. Near clear amber brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy malts, a light creamy sweetness more than offset by a little bitterish toffee. A brief flash of bitterish dried fruits. Esters and then maple that is, mercifully, not too sweet. Interesting.

Cask-conditioned at the Kings Head, Bristol 3/10/2024. Copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Caramel, earthy malts, some red berry sweetness, leading to a lingering, bitter, finish with a suggestion of autumn bonfire smokiness. Enjoyable.

Cask. Wooden barrel. Brown with fluffy head. Aroma and flavour are super woody and dry. Malty and has a nice background sweetness.

Cask at the Harlequin, Sheffield. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light citrus and light biscuit. Taste is light lime and pine. Light bitter finish. Not a right lot going on.

On tap at Runaway Brewery Taproom, Stockport (not yet listed on RateBeer). Pours almost black with a sizable foamy cream head and good lacing. Roast malts to the fore in thw aroma plus hints of floral hops and nuts. In the mouth it is sweet with fairly high carbonation. Roast malts and grains in the flavour, plus traces of cola and dried fruits. Sweetness can still be detected in the finish. It’s reasonable if not outstanding – and an interesting beer. Would say it’s a Schwarzbier though not an Indian Dark Lager.
