Bottle from Kris Wines, London. Pours a hazy dark amber / brown colour with a lasting off white head, with good lacing. Aroma of biscuit, malt, hop, caramel, swet and citrus fruits. Medium sweetness, and medium bitterness, increasing. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is dry, malty, bitter and slightly tart. Very nice.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. The pump clip describes this as a DIPA, but I think English Strong Ale is closer to the mark. It’s golden amber with a ring of cream head; the aroma has some resinous hops; the texture is oily, with more resin, some spice and a solid malty body adding some sweetness; followed by a dry resinous finish. I did not find this particularly enjoyable.

Keg at The Grapes, Oxford, Saturday 13th December 2014. Pours a rich reddy/brown with a sticky slightly off-white head. Soft in mouth, big punchy DIPA, citrussy but with a little lavender. Quite thick in mouth, slips down well for the abv. Really nice. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5
