Cask at Pied Bull, Chester. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small beige head and good lacing. The nose has chocolate (mainly) and roasted malts. In the mouth it is smooth and creamy with dark fruits and milky coffee. After a while roast malts and chocolate come through as well. Finish is quite malty. This is nice – I must have caught it on a good day @FatPhil

Cask at Pied Bull, Chester. Pours a cloudy bitter brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Aroma has malts and grains with a hint of spices. In the mouth it has a slightly creamy texture. It is sweet and malty with rye, nuts, and some underlying old school hops. Followed by a slightly dry finish. This is rather nice – more verging towards a red / rye beer than a straight ESB.

Smooth, very low roast, some chocolate, tastes like an ale and mild to me but not arguing with label.

Sunday night, 20th Sep 2020. Three beer flight of their own beers in the Pied Bull, Chester. All three beers were in poor condition, glad I only had a third to drink of each! Brown body, red hue when held up to the light, off-white head. Malty front to this one, not much else to say about it.

Sunday night, 20th Sep 2020. Three beer flight of their own beers in the Pied Bull, Chester. All three beers were in poor condition, glad I only had a third to drink of each! Light amber body, white topping. Not a lot going on to be honest, malty front, some bittering hops late in the finish.

Cask at Pied Bull, Chester Pours a hazy reddish brown with a tight cream head. Not much of a nose – just a vague malty sensation. In the mouth texture is creamy and watery. Not much taste either, nints of malt, dark fruits and caramel. Nothing actually wrong with it – just rather bland. Certainly not worth £4.70 a pint – luckily I got 20% CAMRA discount !
