Cask at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, Castleton, Derbyshire. Pours a clear copper-orange with an average size creamy off-white head. Aroma surprised me by being slightly roasty, I wasn’t expecting that, a little nutty as well. Flavour’s also slightly roasty along with some nuttiness and a decent bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty different for a Bitter, I enjoyed it.

Cask at GBBF 08. Hazy amber with an offwhite froth. Quite complex nose: fruit, toffee and chocolate. Good fruity bitterness. A bitter way above the average.

On gravity at the Bristol Beer Festival 14/3/08. Cooper with a slight white head. Aroma of biscuit malt with a hint of red fruit. Flavour was pleasantly bitter, with a hint of chocolate malt and a decent bitter finish. A very good session bitter.
