Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy brown body with no head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of cherry, earth and a slight smokiness. Flavour of toffee and roasted malt. Medium to full body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Very easy drinking for the ABV. This is a subtle and interesting beer.

Pigs Ear 2025. Gravity. Very solid. Quite dry. Lean smokey character, clean pale malts, candied ham. Highly drinkable. Excellent.

Hazy golden appearance. First beer in a pub that's moved premises - they can no longer market it as 'The Smallest In Halifax '. This first is kept well though, a dominant hoppy character as expected, but tropical fruits available too, most fruity in its aftertaste.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#15. Black in colour, smoked mainly, and lingering, but not finding the said chocolate in its notes. Its strength is apparent.

On keg at Steel City 49, Kelham Island - Dark menacing red amber body, thin white head. Lots of smokiness in this, peaty Islay whisky hit, Laphroig-esque, earthy malts. One to savour.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#6. Hazy dark amber in colour, perhaps not the most inviting of appearances but it's fuller-bodied tasting, mildly gritty hoppiness is pretty good. Very light citrus notes do provide flavour.
gave a cheers!

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#17. Extremely smoked beer, very good in a one-time order, certainly couldn't do too much, especially as this was only a sample and decided not to go with it. Pretty decent though.

The big question whilst I drink this hoppy bitter with a decent head and drinkable texture is, should I go and see The Cheeky Girls, playing in my area on Halloween? Light malts in aroma, and a developing caramel style fruitiness in taste.

Keg at Overdraft Bedford Place. Opaque cola brown. Thin foamy beige head. Aroma is lowest key. Some berries and coffee... I guess. Flavourwise we have tangy berries and coldbrew coffee. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Dece.
