Pint at the The Jolly Tars, Cleveleys. Golden amber beer with solid white head. Slight fruity, nutty nose. Light body, smooth texture. Sweet cashew taste , touches of orange. Late lingering bitterness. Like an APA but dialled WAY back.

50cl as "Station Works Foxes Rock Stout" (brewed in N.I. by Cumberland Breweries) .Pours close to black with a modest beige head. Feel a bit cheated here, I thought it would be another NI tick, but then it's England? Even thou it's "handcrafted Irish ales" and brewed in N.I.? But anyway; rather mild roasty aroma with notes of dark, bitter chocolate, dark fruits and hints of wood. Moderate to medium sweet with fairly low flavour intensity and a light bitterness. Drinkable enough.

Bottle 50 cl. As "Station Works Foxes Rock Stout". Pours a dark brown with an orange hue and a small, off-white head. Subtle roast in the nose, or more dark dried fruit. Light in body, low in carbonation, some mellow licorice. Porterish and very drinkable. Very old school British, but fine for what it is. 041217

500ml bottle: BBD 3rd May 18. Obtained from a local Aldi and drank at home on 14th June 17. Light haze to the golden pour, white crown. Citrus like aromas, taste also on the citrusy side, lemons and pineapple flavours seemed to marry together along with a light maltiness. Liked it.
