Bottle from Chester Beer & Wine, Chester. Dark brown with a small off-white head. Traditional ale and a sweetish porter, and this is represented in its aroma too. It's low on dark brew character.

On tap at Huxleys, Chester. Pours almost black with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. There’s roast malts and lactose in the aroma, plus some hints of coffee. In the mouth it is sweet, smooth and creamy with malts and oats plus hints of milky coffee and vanilla. Finish has a little fruitiness. This is a decent porter.

On tap at Huxleys, Chester (the brewery tap – not yet listed in Ratebeer). Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. There’s some floral hoppiness in the aroma, but it isn’t overdone. More floral hops in the mouth, along with some grains and a hint of caramrel. Finish is slightly sweet. This is rather nice.

Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours a murky burgundy with a msall cream head and excellent lacing. Red berries plus hints of toffee in the aroma. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with sweet malts being the initial sensation. They quickly give way to red berries, juniper and strawberry overlaid on a caramel base. Some spices there as well. Finish is quite sweet, but with bitter undertones. Not quite sure what to think of this one – but it’s certainly interesting !
