3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 BlackHaddock (5113) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - NOV 24, 2014
Cask, hand-pulled half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 19th Nov 2014. Light amber pour with a full white crown. Malty lead to the nose and flavours, dry feel to the brew, some faint fruit and biscuity hints within the maltiness: hop bitter finish. Decent, but not really exciting or different to the other beers I tried around it during the session.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2014 1) Handpull, Nunfest, Sperrin Brewery Stadium, Nuneaton, 13/07/13. Copper red with a slim fine collar. Aroma of berries, a hint of rosemary, stale orange sweets. Barley sweets, dankness, herb and bitter linger on the tongue. Reasonable.
2) Gravity, 7th Hinckley BF, 11/09/14. Bugger- a duplicate. Shit happens. No head over pale twiggy brown. Nose of wholemeal and dog biscuits. Soapy dirty flowers with cocoa taste watered heavily. Hints of melon. Another beer gone.
