Two Roses Jester
Cask conditioned at The Wellington, Birmingham. Gold with white head. There is a drying character to this, leafy, twiggy hop notes on a mid roasted, cereal body. A touch of baked Weetabix in the flavour. It's okay.

Two Roses Mosaic
August 2016 - Cask at GBBF 2016 as ’Two Roses Mosaic’. Clear yellow, still, small foamy white head. Aroma is airy, buttery. Body is smooth with soft carbonation. Taste follows aroma – thin and buttery, biscuity, some astringency, dry finish. Dries out well enough but a bit thin all round. Not getting loads of Mosaic character. (3.0)

Two Roses Heron Porter
Cask at The White Lion, Disley, Cheshire, £3.10/pint. Very dark brown beer with a thin but smooth, cream-coloured head that laces well. The nose is very light with muted sweet malts, dairy, chocolate and grain notes but nothing much forcing itself forward. The taste is much stronger and more present with sweet milk chocolate and bitter dark cocoa flavours combining to make a pleasant, easy-drinking porter.

Two Roses Heron Porter
[York Beer Festival, 2014] - Two Roses Brewery Heron Porter, 4.2%, dunkelbraun! noch leicht durchsichtig! leicht rötlicher Stich. Kaum Schaum. Schokolade und Haselnuss im Aroma, etwas Vanillin, nur ganz leicht wässrig, mittleres Mundgefühl. Minimale natürliche Kohlensäure. Trocken, etwas bitter im Antrunk! nach dunkler Schokolade, hopfigen Bitterstoffen, Röstmalzen. Keinerlei Süße. Zur Mitte noch deutlicher hopfenbitter, dazu Röstmalze. Letztere überwiegen in den Abgang, Schokolade ist allenfalls noch im Ansatz zu spuren. Espresoartiger Nachhall, anhaltend leicht bitter, durch die Bank sehr trocken. Für ein Porterbier erstaunlich herb und trocken.

Two Roses Heron Porter
Ruby brown body a few creamy head. Very bellow aroma, some bready malts perhaps. Extremely light. Not bad but I like to sell a beer. Taste is traditional too, light bitter, creamy. Really too mellow for me. Apparently there’s some alcohol in this, but I’d rather drink something that shows its backbone. Very creamy. That’s the best I can say. Oh and well crafted I think. It’s hard to say with so little flavour. (On tap at The Grove Inn during first Leeds visit)
