Crispin, Wokingham. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth and light, fine carbonation. Light malts. Tired dried fruits. Mild noble hop like bitterness. Light finish. Fine.

Impromptu tasting of three Two Cocks beers (six cocks?) with Ashton McCobb. Overall, I expected more from the experience. "as featured on grand designs" doesn’t really fill you with much hope does it? This was the best of the lot though. Black with a thin, long-lasting beige head. Aromas of cold coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is more of the same, some light sulphur. Creamy texture, bitter finish. This is the least sweet of the Two Cocks we tried, and the best tasting overall.

Impromptu tasting of three Two Cocks beers (six cocks?) with Ashton McCobb. Jeez-o this one smells bad, not sure I want to put it in my mouth! No way this is bottle-conditioned, as the yeast would’ve cleared up that diacetyl and sulphur, and there was nothing in the way of sediment, not one iota. Taste has a kinda toffee thing, but hard to get past everything else. Astringent finish. Disappointing.

Impromptu tasting of three Two Cocks beers (six cocks?) with Ashton McCobb. This one looks good, but the nose lets it down - all butterscotch and not much else. Taste has light caramel and lime. Might be better hand-pulled?

50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black with a decent crema head. Nose - struck match thing again so sulphur. The dark chocolate. Taste - dark chocolate but predominantly coffee. Liquorice note on the end. Palate - medium bodied with a dry malty texture and a dry malty finish. Overall - definitely the best of the three even if there are again slight issues with the nose.

50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - a dark honey colour with a decent head. Nose - butterscotch from 3 feet away and more close up . maybe some dry biscuits in there too. Also unpleasant struck match thing. Taste - burnt toffee but the struck match nose gets in the way. Palate - medium bodied burnt middle texture and a reasonable finish. Overall - generally unpleasant and the nose in particular.

50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - initially a hit of lime but unfortunately butterscotch kicks in quite soon after. Taste - caramel, some lime again. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a reasonably dry finish. Overall - nothing special and the nose was a bit of a problem.
