Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has oranges and caraway. In the mouth it is very briefly sweet and creamy before becoming rough and grainy with flavours of rye, caraway, marmalade and hints of berry fruits and corn. Finish is quite bitter. This is rather unusual – but decent enough.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a cloudy straw with minimal white head but good lacing. The aroma is subdued – just hints of floral hops and spices. In nthe mouth, coriander is very much the strongest flavour, along with ibtter oranges, and hints of apricot, aniseed, banana and cloves. Overall it is bitter but with underlying sweetness. Finish is quite spicy. This is quite nice - one I’d certainly drink again.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a hazy chestnut with a small cream head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of chocolate sauce. In the mouth it is sweet with mainly malts and marmalade in the aroma plus a hint of chestnuts. Later on some traditional hops come through along with fudge and toffee. All leading to a bittersweet finish. It’s OK, but a bit nodescript.

Cask at Black Lion, Nantwich. Pours golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Some vague maltiness in the aroma, but not much else. In the mouth it is sweet and malty, if a little watery. There’s an underlying fruitiness along with grains, biscuits and some hints of corn and ginger. Some bitterness comes out in the finish. This is exscellent – a simple beer, but done very well.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark burgundy with a small off-white head. Very little aroma – just some vague maltiness. In the mouth it has a creamy texture, but is also watery. Main flavour is malts, plus treacle, cola and dandelion and burdock. Finish is malty as well. This is OK, but it doesn’t have much wallop.
