3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Booth’s. Copper with a fine white top. Muted aroma with some light muscovado, toffee and Allsorts notes waking up. Drinks silky with malt fullness; caramel-spread oak, marzipan, milk choc, faint husk and roast. Well made, full, savoury and very slightly dull bitter. But I’m digging the oak.

3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Cask at the Cumberland Hotel, Alston] Smells almost stout-like, with coffee and malt aromas. Flavour gives toffee followed by a leafy, hoppy bitterness that doesn’t sit well with the pleasant aroma. Disappointing.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Bronze with a lovely fruity fresh bitterness.Some hops with a spicy finish. Definitely different and recommended.
