Medium to heavy sweet flavor, bit of punchy alcohol, mango, orange, papaya. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish, fairly resinous, some dried tropical fruits. A bit heavy-handed.

Keg at Lyric, Soho. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is smoke, ham, caramel, dark fruit and wood. The taste is earth, toast, smoke, high bitterness, wood, resin and some astringency with a damn bitter finish. Light-medium body and moderate carbonation. Perhaps lacking in a bit of body, bit pretty nice. I think this style suits being on keg. Decent.

Craft Clerkenwell tasting. Cask. Thanks to Leighton? Hazy amber beer, little cream coloured head. Light dry palate. Big hops but bitter and not fruity. Mild minerals. Dry astringent finish with long harsh bitter linger.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Pours pitch black with a small head. Aroma of coffee, cocoa, roasted malts, hints of chocolate and vanilla. Taste is smooth, slightly fruity with loads of coffee, some roastiness, hints of chocolate and vanilla. Finish is oily, slightly roasty with notes of coffee and dark fruits. Quite balanced and tasty coffee stout.

Tap at the Rake - Borough Market, London. Lovely little lager. Pours clear gold with a fine, white head. Crisp and not too sugary sweet, with dry cereal, buscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean and crisp and refreshing to finish, with dry and biscuity pale malts and mellow bitter hay. Very easy to drink.
