Cask, handpump, Tilly’s, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Wednesday 1st October 2014. Pours black with a slim tan head. Rich and full flavoured, hops show, the finish is dry. This is just a little past its best and becoming a bit tired, still the abv and flavours carry it through. Roasty in mouth. Will look out for this again when in top nick. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask at Free Trade Inn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Byker. Wednesday 30th September 2014. Pours light orangey/warm gold. Bittersweet tangy marmalade really lovely with pithy dry finish. I have to concede that this is better than my Double Axe (this is Loz’s) the Buxton beer is lovely but a little cloying. A7 A5 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

Bottle. A dense, finger-thick off-white to light beige head forms over an unclear, dark amber colored body. The aroma is mostly on the toffee side, with a pleasant citrusy touch. Cocoa notes and some resiny hints. It’s medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, with a pleasant carbonation level. Toffee, hazelnuts, cocoa, citrus peel and resins in the flavor, with a nice bitterness. Lasting finish. Quite pleasant and easy drinkable this one, sessionable. 140927

Bottle shared @ ChrisO after GBBF Day 1. Clear orange color, small off-white head. Aroma is way more hoppy than I had expected. Taste is spicy, chili, and basically completely as expected. Not what I like.

Bottle. A thick, finger-thick light tan to dark beige head forms over a dark, dark brown body that is almost clear. Tar, umami, some coffee and chocolate, caramel and nuts in the aroma. Some burnt sugar. It’s medium bodied and smooth on the palate, sweetish yet not cloying. Roasted malt kind of bitterness and some burnt notes in the finish. Caramel, tar hints, umami meatyness, coffee and some chocolate in the flavor. Pretty nice this one, but a tad sweet. And it could use some more body I think. 140815
