Cask @ Eagle in Barrow near Clitheroe. Mid-yellow with a very small head. It’s dry hopped, evident in both aroma and texture with some fruits, but not much. A very good session ale though as it’s very easy to drink.

Cask @ Mason’s Arms, Todmorden. Golden with a small head. Has a metallic aroma like a used Horby railway set. It’s slightly more neutral in its taste with a fruitness trying but failing to appear. A session ale.

Bottle. Not quite all black but getting there, and without a head. This has a blend of old ale sweetness and roasted malts associated with a stout and the fine balance makes it a very tasty brew.
