Bottle shared in London - cheers to NewKen. Pours clear, pale yellow with a light, foamy, white head. Simple, sweet, some white bread, light bitter hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more of the same - pale bread, hay. Not much too it. So so overall.

Bottle shared at the columbus tasting 22/08/2019. Many thanks! A clear dull gold coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is vanilla, dull apple sweaty grains. Flavour is composed of thin, light grains, spicy crab apple, thin grains, corn. Paalte is thin, highish carbaontion. Terrible.

Bottle from Sharmans Convenience Store, Glenridding. Black with a thin beige head. Chocolate at first, a middling roastiness, a touch of sour liquorice and a coffee aftertaste. Sweetish, but with a lightly bitter, almost acrid note in the background. It's a little thin but overall it's not bad.

On cask at the Brackenrigg. Appearance - amber with a neat lacy head. Nose - bruised apples. Brown bread. Taste - stewed apples. Rye bread. Palate - light to medium bodied. Dry finish. Overall - weakest of their beers. Not sure I didn't get the dodgy end of the cask in fact.

Cask @ Brackenrigg Inn, Watermillock. Called Steamer Stout. Very dark red with a small off-white head. Has rich roasted malts and comes across as fairly sweet, but with a hint of coffee or chocolate.
