Brighton draught, 4/2/25.
Rich caramel and light chocolate with gentle acidity. Clean, not sweet, no booze. Yet it still smells very malty and rich.
Soft, creamy, malty, deep and rich. Maybe not Uber complex but the caramel, raisin, pepper, toast and light milk chocolate are balanced perfectly. Clean, chewy but not sugary. No booze.

Brighton draught, 4/5/23. Garnet. Clear. Beige head is small, well-retained. Heavily fruity melanoidins with licorice-tinged cola and a solid layer of succulent caramel. Clean, seemingly crisp on the finish. No booze. Soft, very malty, with quick bitterness inserting itself amongst bready, peppery notes and light chocolate and caramel. Clean, malty, good attenuation. A bit bready, maybe a touch more specialty malt than needed. Raisins, oranges, caramel, vanilla lingering. Still achieves a pretty good balance while remaining quite malty.

Pours light mahogany into a stem glass. Tan pancake head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Sweet molasses bread and dark pit fruit aromas. Soft and warm with sweet molasses and licorice upfront turning to earthy bread, dark caramel and bark in the lasting finish.

Pours deep mahogany into a stem glass. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Dark caramel, pit fruit and molasses aromas. Soft and sweet with molasses, dried pit fruit and warming spice front to back.
