Cask, gravity NWAF, Manchester in company of Dad, Pauline and Baz 20.01.12 Pours mid brown with a few bubbles for head. Fruity with decent depth of flavour and good hoppiness throughout, tasty, tangy bitter, that went down very well. Another corker from this brewery. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

worldbeertaste (616) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - MAY 23, 2012
Dark brown with an amber tint and a thin creamy quick dissapearing head. Frutiy, malty and caramel smell. Frothy medium sticky body. Taste of ripe fruit, sweet fruit (plums and pruns) that is well balanced against the hop bitter finish. Roast, caramel malt and bitter malt. Very smooth and very easy to drink.

Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’11. Reddish brown with white head. Good deep flavours from the off, a roasty, bittersweet malt, a light touch of caramelisation and a gently hoppy finish. pretty reasonable.
