Handpull cask at Stod Fold @ Dean Clough,, Halifax. Dark brown, mostly opaque with a medium to large tight khaki head. Aroma of ash, blackberry, roast coffee. Taste is bittersweet with more coffee and a trace of liquorice followed by a bitter finish. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Pretty good stout.

First drink after my two-yearly eye test, thankfully copious amounts of craft haven't affected them in the last two years, so on we go with this only mildly hazed golden coloured brew. Crisp, soft water that appeals, coupled with an easy enough strength. A hoppy beer in aroma and taste, it has a developing bitterness in its aftertaste.

Keg @ Stod Fold, Halifax. Hazy dull amber coloured with a head. Strong tasting with a light Belgian styled bubble-gum sweetness, evident in both aroma and taste, and a bushy-fruitiness.
