Stockport Beer Festival 2026 Beer#20. Last of the festival for me and a strong one to finish with the A6 beer, a road I know well, being a heavy dark malt homage to one of the longest UK roads. It's not got much dark character despite its dark-brown appearance. Drinkable but othing out of the ordinary here.

10/10/2024. Cask at Nottingham Beer & Cider Festival 2024. Pours slightly murky mid/dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Not an attractive pour. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, light roasted malt, sour fruits, toasted. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Oily watery, average to soft carbonation. Not bad.
