Cask at the Black Bull, Haltwhistle. Dark gold/light copper with a small white head. Hoppy peach and pine aroma. The initial taste, with a bit of meaty savoury followed by an intense fruity bitterness, is indeed a bit different from what I was expecting. However this is an incredibly nuanced beer with bags of character for the ABV.

Swan Song at Bruce’s. Thanks to Leighton. Almost clear deep amber beer, untidy cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Decent dark malt base, little roast. A touch of bitterish dark chocolate. Mild pine hops with traces of skunk and citrus. Touch of berry fruits. Dry finish. Decent.

330ml bottle. Clear, ruby red glowing, dark brown colour with small to average, fluffy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly weird aroma has herbal and chocolately notes, hints of smelly feet, juniper berry. Taste is dark malty, minimally chocolately, herbal overtones, some juniper; minimally watery. Not convincing.
