24-27/10/2023. From cask at the 45th Norwich Beer Festival. Pours clear bright deep amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Good pour. Aroma of caramel, malt, fruits, berries, biscuit, touch of butterscotch. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Became sweeter in finish, drying wafer toffee. Quite enjoyable.

24-27/10/2023. From the wood at the 45th Norwich Beer Festival. Pours very slightly hazy pale golden amber with a minimally bubbly off-white head. Aroma is citrus, touch earthy, woody, floral. Increasing fruity sweetness, moderate woody bitterness. Moderate body, oily, soft to flat carbonation. Dry woodiness to finish. Not much on looks but quite liked it.

Hands pumped at Malto, Riccione, Italy. Pours dark brown, almost black, with a nice head of very fine cream foam. Aroma is earthy and slightly smoked. Body is average, with close to no carbonation. Taste is delicately roasty. Final is still smoked, maybe even cigar. Overall, a very satisfying mild, even hand pumped!

Cask-conditioned at the Swan, York 7/9/2023. Near black in colour, with reddish undertones and a moderately-sized, beige, head. Plain chocolate, dark fruits, a touch of caramel and some citrus character throughout. Unusual, and rather pleasant.

Since I was brought up on Harlow Hill and blonde (was, grey now) this should be my perfect beer - and it's not too bad actually. Pours clear and golden with a frothy/creamy white head and biscuits and a hint of citrus on the nose. Smooth and creamy with light malt, sweet floral hops and a hint of citrus bitterness
