Bottle Traci brought back from Cumbria. Thanks baby! Shiny dark copper, solid off-white head. Pleasant toasted cereal aroma, a bit of earthy hops. Toasted caramel sweetness with a little chocolate edge. Well made and goes down just fine.

Cask, gravity, at Wellington Arms Winter Festival of Ale. Dark amber. Pleasant malty aroma. Lovely taste: sweet, ashy and fruity. Mid bitter finish. Excellent. And this was beer #1 of the day, so it must have been seriously good...

Cask at the Bridge Hotel, Newcastle. Copper in colour, malty flavour with slight hops. Unremarkable.

Bottle from booths, keswick. Aroma is biscuity, hints of grainy malt, grassy and hints of citrus. Taste is again a malty chap with similarly hoppy notes to aroma.

Mahogany res with a nice head. The aroma is fresh with lots of hops and malt and notes of fruit. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, light sweetness and a pronounced, dry bitterness. This beer has a interesting and good balance, that I like very much.
