Keg at Campervan. It pours opaque darkest brown to black with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, brown bread, toasted spice, warming, cacao nibs, umami and leather. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, chewy, toothy, caramel, toffee, toasted brown sugars, spice, chocolate, caramel shortbread and burnt toast with a slick finish. Medium to full body, fine carbonation with a slick mouth - feel. Decent.

Keg at Campervan. It pours hazy orangey golden with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, orangey, peachy, candied orange peel and nectarine. The taste is dry, bitter, juicy, orange sherbet, zingy, tangerine, kumquat, candied orange, orange squash and a touch of acidity with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, carbonation. I was hoping for a bit more tartness. More like a fruit beer, but a decent one.

Cask hand pull at The Guildford Arms. It pours black with a bubbly tan cap. The aroma is rich roasted malt, umami, liquorice, charcoal, some orange peel, touch of marmalade and dull smoke. The taste is pretty dry, bitter, hard roasted malts, ashy, liquorice, burnt toffee, some bitter citrus rind and umami with some peppery spice on what is a rather drying finish. Light - medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Certainly doesn't lack flavour.. A bit ashy perhaps, but nae bad at all.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Amber with a head. Strong tasting but with good caramels to offset this.

Keg at the brewery. Black body with a thin beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of biscuit, coffee and minerals. Flavour of coffee, rust and tart plum. Thin body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. For me, the flavour is a bit tinny. Campervan brew dark beers so well, but I wasn’t particularly keen on this one.
