Bottle, Co-op Headington, Oxford, 09-11-06. Golden in colour with a white head. Aroma was rather hoppy touch of sweetness, good tasty citric and hoppy beer that was really pleasant.

Bottle, my third and final Marstons of the evening was the Oyster Stout, which I’ve had plenty of times before but never got around to rating. Almost black in colour with a creamy head, not a great deal of aroma aside maybe from a touch of roastedness this also showed up in the taste which whilst pleasant enough was a little bit drab and this beer came across as a tad thin for my liking, not particularly bitter, Oysters forgot to show up and overall just an ok stout.

Bottle, thought I’d re-aquaint myself with a bottle of what used to be my regular tipple in my local when I lived in Worcester. Copper with an off white medium head, though not for the first time with me the size of the head could have had something to do with my careless pouring. Fruity but also rather sweet aroma, the taste is also somewhat fruity, but a touch on the sweet side, malts present some bitterness good but not great.

Bottle, Copper coloured beer, small white head, hops and malt dominate the aroma. Malts and some caramel in the taste with a flurry of hops at the end.

Bottle. Bronze with a cream head and light carbonation. Biscuity aroma. Taste is lightwieght, with some biscuit, malt and hops, leaving a clean aftertaste.

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Vague aroma of nuts and roasted malt. Fairly light body, notes of roasted malt and nuts. Lightly sweet but ends on an odd, coffeeish note. But absolutely drinkable for a low carb and a lot better than what the score would indicate. 130906
