Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Clear, chestnut brown. Film and sudsy ring, of dirty beige head. Nose has earthy coffee bean. Plum stone. Wood ash. Dried vine fruits. Treacle. Taste is ripe stone fruit sweet, with some earthy, ashy dryness. Mouthfeel stays on the right side of chewy. Fine carbonation. Dry on the finish, with a touch of coffee bitterness. Nice porter. Comes together well.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Orange amber. Lots of haze. Thin, dense, messy, sticky, white head. Good looker. Nose is big on the NZ hop twang. Lemon rind. White grape juice. Grapefruit. Some blackcurrant. Light malt base. Its all hops, this. Taste is zingy, and pithy bitter. Some dryness. Palate is clean, with some hop oiliness. Fine carbonation. Pithy, twangy bitter finish. Lacking some sweetness, maybe, but nevertheless very enjoyable.

Cask @ Jacobs Beer House, Bradford. Dark clear copper with a small creamy head. Has lots of grainy, bready maltiness, which is slightly overbearing give its full flavour in this regard.
