Cask at the Joiners Arms, High Newton by the Sea. Reddish-black with a cream-coloured head. Light flavours of chocolate and liquorice with just a wisp of smoke. A bit thin and watery. All a bit too light if I'm honest, needs a bit of oomph.

On cask at the Sun Hotel in Warkworth. Added this as a Bitter as it wasn't dark enough for an amber ale. The taste makes me think that there may be a possibility of spice/herb/vegetable but lack of information means the larger catch all of Bitter would be safest style. Appearance - golden with a decent lacy head. Nose - something that reminds me of spruce and something a bit like wood spice. Biscuit malt and citrus hops in there somewhere too. Taste - more of the same. Spiced biscuit dominates. Palate - light to medium bodied. Crunchy texture. Nice finish. Overall - enjoyable.
