Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a deep ruby with a small scummy cream head and good lacing. There’s berry fruit and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity with floral hops and strawberries. Later there is some gradually increasing bitterness plus hints of chewy sweets, dark fruits and nuts, Finish is dry and somewhat bitter. This is decent – not at all what I expected.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and oranges in the aroma, plus some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture. Flavours are bitter hops, autumn fruits and some traces of nuts. After a while a little underlying caramel and some citrus come through as well. Finish is dry and slightly sweet. This is reasonable.

Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy tan head and good lacing. The aroma is somewhat insipid - - just hints of roasted malts, biscuits and honey. In the mouth it is quite sweet and smooth with a creamy texture, but with a little underlying berry fruit sharpness. These and roasted malts are the main flavours, but also hints of chocolate and liquorice. Sharpness lasts into the fruity finish. This is reasonable – but a bit strange.

'The Snowman' animation has been ever present at Xmas on UK's Channel 4 since it began in 1982. Nice looking hopped Christmas theme bitter, with a mid bitterness at best. A 'Best' it is too, traditional and is very pleasant within its style.

Embers is the nickname of England cricketer John Embury. Obvious initial toffee is soon complimented by a stewed floralness in both aroma and taste, which makes this beer a little heavy going. Maybe on the turn.
