Can bought at Wight Bear, Southbourne. Aroma has black coffee and porridge. Dark and glossy. Stygian depths. Foamy creamy beige head. Bitter full-on coffee with tart berries. Underlying creaminess and light molasses. The latter gradually gains prominence. Medium bodied. Thin oily mouthfeel. Flat carbonation - a light prickle. Long somewhat astringent finish. Definitely a coffee enhanced brew.

Can from Tick Beer, Dorsetshire. Aroma is funky mango with saline hints. Hazy mango orange. Bubbly translucent white head soon fades away. Medium sour. Vinous. Bit not overly so. Slightly salty. Fruity. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough. Refreshing. But for a sour had surprisingly low impact.
