Bottle from B&M, wednesbury. Chestnut beer with medium head. Aroma of caramel and malts. Taste is malts, caramel and some hop bitterness. Ok beer.
Bought from B&M in Hednesford, £1 a bottle. Surprised by this beer for the price. Good looking beer, not a great head but held it all the way down the glass, slight toffee taste I thought & easy to drink. I would buy again.
Bottle from B&M, Team Valley, Gateshead. Dark amber coloured with a nutty and malty flavour, slight chocolate notes followed by a dry, bitter and lightly roasted finish.
A fair pint,a bit of a thin head,not very active,nothing fantastic here,an ok beer.
There's something intrinsically Yorkshire oboit this bitter it must be in the water, decent enough good mix of hops and malt looks ok very drinkable as a session beer nothing outstanding.
Very hoppy aroma. Dark brown slightly amber colour. Very hoppy dull but tangy taste. Lingering aftertaste.
Cask at Haymarket. Pours dark copper. Aroma is sweetish malts. Taste is bitterish fruitiness, slight stuffy, malts.
Cask at Railway Tavern, Richmond. Strange dispense - cask to tray, tray to glass. Dark reddy brown, hazy, still, small foamy off-white head, full lacing. Aroma is resin, algae, some sharp astringent notes, touch of bubblegum maybe. Body is medium, smooth, very little carbonation. Taste is twiggy, light biscuit, monkeynut, soft musty bitterness. Quite a nice flavour.
Pint from the Three Stags, Bebington. Deep Amber colour, with an off white head, light malty aroma, taste slightly too sweet.
Cask at the haymarket. Pours clear amber, nose is toffee, biscuit, taste is sweet, dry, biscuit.
On cask at the Haymarket.
Appearance - copper to amber. Decent thin head.
Nose - elusive. Dry malt really.
Taste - dry biscuits and light toffee.
Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish.
Overall - has decent malt structure but lacks the hop bitterness to balance it off.
Cask at the Haymarket. Pours clear amber, thin creamy head. Aromas of malt, toffee, fudge. Taste is sweet toffee, more fudge. Sweet finish. On reflection, perfectly drinkable, but a style I’m no longer keen on.
Amber color with a fine off white head. Light caramel and a bit flowery aroma. Medium boydy. Fine balance. Average carbonation. Fruity, nutty and flowery flavor. Nice fresh and easy drinkable beer. Especially at 4,1%.
[Bottle from Gro]
Darker smooth amber ale but a bit light-on nice low carbonation cream head from bottle tho, pretty good, not great.
Cask in London, UK. Pours amber with an off-white head. Malty, caramel, bit fruity. Lightly hopped.
Bottle from old backlog notes. Pours a clear darker amber color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have mildly toasted malts, caramel, light hops with light bitterness. Pretty soft and relatively boring overall.
Slight hoppy bitterness with malty nuttiness in aroma. Cloudy reddish brown colour with great head. Similar to aroma with strong bitterness up front and smooth nutty finish. Medium body with low carbonation.
Smooth bitter, somewhat malty but not heaps going on flavour wise and a bit of a thin palate. Totally drinkable but pretty boring.
Bottle. Mahogany coloured. Disappointing lack of flavour and watery mouthfeel. Didn't stack up in a night of British bitter tasting.
Bottle @ BA Järntorget. Amber with a small off white head. Malty and flowery notes. Malt, caramel, flowers and hops. Medium to light body with a dry finish.
A plain beer dosnt smell of nething. A good ruby colour. With a good 1cm head. Smooth and mild by taste. Nothing to write home about!
500ml bottle - Mahogany body, thick beige head that dissipates rather quickly. Nutty aroma, a bit of caramel too. The taste is malty, sweet at the back, lots of demerara hints in there as well. Better than I was expecting.
A disappointing beer that seems to be lacking in all areas. The head lacks body and the dark porter like appearance is deceiving in it’s promise.was a real disappointment .
Dark amber brown real ale. Cereal malty flavor. Watery bitter finish bit not so weak that takes away from the beer
Cask @ The Original Oak, Leeds. Brown beer. Quite boring. A bitter. A boring brown bitter. Fine though.
Okay pour. Solid nutty malts, a touch of caramel and fruitiness. Not exactly exploding with flavour, but no offensive flavours to report. Easy drinker too. I approve!
Had this cask ale at Old White Swan York. A bit thin though it looks better than it tastes with a nice clear amber color and nice head.
Cask, The Castle, Castleton. Amber brown with an off white foam. Aromas are woody with light apple and trace aniseed. Nutty with hedgerow and blackberry. Flavours are woody malts with pepper and earthy hops. Light apple with a dry finish. Some residual sugar. Average.

Bottle. Amber brown with an off-white head. Aromas are nutty with metallic hops and an underlying caramel smoothness. Flavours are nutty with sweet malts that give way to some fruitiness followed by a fairly dry finish. Not bad, probably better from a cask.
Sweet nutty nose, lovely clear hazelnut colour. Woody smoke flavours with a note of plums, sweet herby finish. - pint at o’neills Sutton
500ml bottle: BBD May 2014, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 24 Aug 2013.
Looked fine: good dark brown body with an off-white head that hung around and gave some heavy lacing.
Malts vied with the hops both in the aroma and taste, the malts just about winning on each account. Toffee and nutty feel to the brew, I liked it.
Body suits the flavours nicely, could be a bit stronger alcohol wise, but the UK tax laws have stopped some beers being brewed and sold at their best ABV levels.

Very surprised to see this on cask at the Telford Town centre Wetherspoons (20 Feb 2013) and felt compelled to have a pint.
Looked like a lot of the old style ’English Bitters’: meaning a fairly dull mid-brown colour with an off-white head sat moodily on top.
Typical UK beery esters reached my nose: nothing too strong or powerful, just an understated blend of malts and hops, neither taking complete control. The malts however do hint at a sweetness to come and sure enough the brew has a malty molasses feel and flavour in the mouth.
OK more than brilliant: pleased I had it though, don’t see enough Daleside beers in Shropshire.
