Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention purchased at the COOP is St Peter’s Port. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, wood, earth, twig, cola and dried fruits. The taste is lightly bitter, toasty, earth, wood, twig, leather, cola and dark fruits with a drying finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Not the most complex thing out there, but easy-drinking anyhow.

24th Jan 2015: Cotteridge Wine bottle share event. Beers were coming thick and fast when this arrived in front of me: a new country tick, so I took my time addressing the brew, even though only a small sample could be taken. Clean brown with a beige head. The aroma comprised of light biscuit maltiness and hints of chocolate: the taste had the same but with added fruitiness missing from the nose. Great beer for the strength and when you consider the beers I was tasting either side of it I think this did really well.

Bottle split at the Cotteridge Convention, thanks to Bropey, 24/01/14. Chestnut brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is biscuit malt, raisen, light cocoa rub. Taste comprises raisens, dark fruit notes, biscuit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, mellow fruit close. So so mild, a little thin and uninspiring.

Cask at the Prince of Wales, St Peter’s Port, Guernsey. It pours clear golden-amber with a medium white head. The nose is soft, doughy, toasty grain, earth and wood. The taste is bitter, doughy, cereal, grainy, mild citrus, wood and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good to finally find a Randall’s on cask! Standard golden bitter territory. Good condition at least. Alright.

Keg at the Yacht Inn, St Peter’s Port Guernsey. It pours clear amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is soft, sweet fruits, apple, honey, caramel and preserved lemon. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, lemony citrus, brown bread, wood, toasty grain and leather with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. As keg golden bitters go its alright. Not bad.
