Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Dark brown pour with a beige head, nice consistency. Coffee is the most notable aroma, dark malts, cocoa dusting, wood also. Taste of dark malts comes through more than the hints of coffee and chocolate although still there. Finish has a reasonable bitterness and has notes of blackcurrant, wood and spice. Body is light and points its nose towards session beer - however flavours are too rich for this and it needs a better body to support it. Nonetheless it's a decent beer.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear gold with small rather fizzy head to start but ok retention. Aroma is sweet and grainy but there is a decent freshness aided by some floral noted hopping. Taste has a nice cereal and light doughy malt, sweet middle and then a floral and grassy hopping although its only light crisp bite - mostly it's a long moderate lingering bitterness but nice contrast to the sweetness. Light to medium bodied, light oily, semi-dry. Pretty good.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear gold, consistent white top and some lacing. Nice hoppy aroma with tart citrus, fruit salad, floral notes. Favour follows aroma, tasty fruit salad with citrus most notable, hint of biscuit, crisp bitter bite. Light bodied, refreshing, slightly dry. Another solid offering from Allendale - they are very consistent I have to say.
