There is not much I can say about this beer that is not covered in the title. It is a dark beer, 4.5% and is brewed by Stuart Neilson at his North Riding Brewery in Scarborough. Since the brewery moved from its previous home at the North Riding Pub, their beers have become morely widely available, and some are more extravagantly experimental.

This is one of those. I have sampled their beers that taste of neopolitan ice cream, coffee, and other interesting things, but this one is special. It took me back to my childhood, when little Timbo had his Ben Shaws pop delivered by a van and he could choose what he fancied that week. Often Cream Soda won, but a good reserve was their Dandelion and Burdock.

Somehow Stuart has managed to make a beer that recreates that taste perfectly and transported me back 60 years. The strength of the beer gives it enough spine to support the two dominant flavours, and both are noticeable in the taste. It was sampled in Leeds, but is available at local outlets too.

Follow up...a while ago I featured Brew York 'Tonkoko Stout' .This week I have discovered their Imperial version on keg. 7.5% and superb, at the Vic in Halifax.
