Sessionable milk stout. Balanced milk stout with a smooth, medium body. Notes of milk chocolate and light coffee blend with roasted malts. Gently sweet with a lightly toasted finish. Easy-drinking yet flavorful.

Chestnut brown with a frothy off-white head and a soft malt and floral hops mixed up aroma. Light bodied, malt sweetness, floral hops and a dry bitter finish.

I'm being watched by a fine collection of Toby Jugs for this one, which is a session bitter with a hop-malt balance and very mild caramels. Mid to high bitterness here.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden yellow with minimal off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s malts and oranges in the aroma, with just a hint of floral hops. In the mouth t is divided between sweet top and bitter underneath and a creamy texture. Flavour has floral hops, a mountain of citrus and grapefruit. Finish is bitter and dreadfully sticky – I needed to drink a different beer to wash my mouth out ! Reasonable enough until the dreadful finish.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops plus traces of malts and marmalade. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture but also a little underlying sweetness. Flavour has mixed hops, oranges and lemon rind with hints of melon and spice coming through later leading to a dry and slightly sticky finish. It’s reasonable.
