Bottle conditioned, 500ml from York Beer & Wine Shop. Tawny brown with white head. The aroma and initial flavours strongly consist of a treacle note, not oversweet, but really quite dark. Heavy roasted malts and a smooth cherry like fruity flavour give a lot of depth. Rich and fruity, the hops must be doing a job somewhere, although they don’t show through. Pretty reasonable.

Thought this beer was called headless pig when I first picked it up, deep red in colour, bitter with a slight hop taste

Cask handpull at The White Star, Liverpool. Mid brown, and has some diacetyl some ok malt in mouth and some hop sting on the finish.

Cask Stillage from the Cellar at the Ship & Mitre, Liverpool 20/11/2003 Amber mid brown coloured with a little sour flavour. A hint of bitterness in a dry roast finish.
