Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with minimal white head. Aroma has some vague hints of traditional hops. In the mouth, hops are there more assertively along with corns and traces of biscuits. Initially sweet, it soon becomes quite bitter. Some lemongrass and caramel come through later. Finish is quite hoppy. This is reasonable – though a bit bland.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark chestnut with minimal off-white head. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of malt. Bitter oranges are the mainstay in the mouth. There’s also some hops and berry fruits and a kick of alcohol strength. Finish a rather bitter. Not a bad beer, but I’ve tasted much better from Merlin

Cask at Earl of Chester, Crewe (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a pale lemon yellow with medium white head and good lacing. Not much in the aroma – just some malt and caramel. Taste in the mouth is quite bland too at first with biscuit andc caramel the main sensations. Flavour when it does finally come is not an improvement – grapefruit enhanced citrus. Drinkable but not much more.

Cask at Crewe Dgo, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy dark copper with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s roasted nuts in the aroma along with malts and hints of caramel. Quite similar in the mouth, where the main flavours are malts and traditional hops plus traces of ginger and other spices. Quite highly carbonated, and the finish is decidedly bitter. This is a decent session bitter – packs quite a punch for it’s strength.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Malts mainly in the aroma, with some caramel and dark fruits. In the mouth, the sweetness and chewiness of winegums is the first thing to be noticed. Malts come through together with raspberries and a hint of chocolate. Finish is fairly fruity. Decent enough mild.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a clear bright golden orange, with a small white head. There’s a vague aroma of citrus, but nothing much. In the mouth there is an initial burst of sweet malts, before floral hops take over. Quite bitter they are too, and this lasts into the dry finish. A simple beer, but done very well.

Third, cask, guest ale at Brewery Tap (Spitting Feathers). Shared with Finn. Almost black in the glass, bubbly beige head, clingy lacing. Lightly roasted, earthy malts on the nose. Flavoured with dark malts and dark fruits. Roasted bitter tail. Easy to drink. Satisfying. (Chester 26.01.2020).
