Cask at the now gone D'Ale, Rochdale. Back with a creamy-frothy light brown head. It's a little on the rich side, but could be even richer. Dark malts abundant, some roasted too, never that flavoursome

Cask @ Kro, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. Bland-hoppy, not a great taste on this occasion.

Hand-pulled half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 1st October 2021. Slight haze to the golden body, snow white head. Citrussy nose and flavour front, other fruits might be involved as the hops overpower the malt bill.

Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy dark gold body. Minimal pithy aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & softer on the back followed by limp aft. Bitter under ripe stone fruit, citrus, pith & light malt tastes with a long tangy finish. Standard.
