Draught at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark brown with aittle translucency and a small creamy tan head. Light aroma, some chocolate and some liquorice, as well as fresh coffee beans. Taste is sweet, with a bitter kickback of heavily moasted malt. Turns fairly bitter in the finish. Loght-bodied with soft carbonation. Thumbs up.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Wheeltappers, Loughborough on 20th January 2025. Lovely looking beer, red hue to the chestnut coloured beer, clean and clear, soft off-white crown on top. Malty and semi-sweet, good hoppy base, very enjoyable. I would have had more, but I was on a mission and in ticking mode!

Growler from LCB. New brewery for me (#1005). Clear dark gold/light amber with thin white top. Biscuit and caramel like malt with minerals and sweet apricot puree on the nose. Taste has a biscuit and wafer malt quality to it with tangy citrus and light apricot, quite bitter with light hop resin. Semi drying mineral water quality to it also. Near medium bodied, slick. Certainly malty but quite a hoppy finish makes this an English IPA rather than the ESBs they sometimes are in reality. .

Cask growler from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - golden and clear, fairly flat. Nose - skunky and grassy. Also, sweet caramel and lemon. Taste - lemon, spice and caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy, spicy and a little sweet. Overall - this wasn't in the condition it would've been in at a cask pub local to the brewery. I hope to try it again in better condition.
