Lovely and fruity. Can’t believe it’s 7.5% as it’s so drinkable.

Tap at the brewpub, alongside nos. 41&42. This was the weirdest in terms of hop profile, and in the middle overall. orange amber, noticeably darker than the others. Nose of caramel, light resin. flavor is big time coconut, butter, oak, like Sorachi ace. Creamy and funky. Likable but not lovable.

On tap at the brewpubl, tried alongside nos. 40 & 42. This was the best. Medium gold. Nose of orang and peach, slight herbal notes. Flavor was moderately sweet, nice fruit, medium to full body. Nice.

Tap at the brewpub, alongside nos. 40 & 41. This was the least impressive of the three, despite being the freshest. Pale gold, with a spicy, fruit nose, cat piss, some DMS unfortunately, and overall lacking cleanness and also not very impressive hop wise.

From the hand pump at the pub. Medium brown with lace. Nutty, toasty nose, caramel, Uk hop. A bit sweet, toasty, nutty, spot on. Great on the hand pump.

Tap at Bud. Pitch black with an off-white head. Nose is light coffee and a bit of chocolate. Somewhat faint. Creamy, woody flavor with light roast and some chocolate. Light body. Somewhat mild overall.

Tap at Bud. Toasty, bready, rich malt nose. Deep golden color. Clear. Malty flavor, bready and slightly nutty, toasty. A bit sweet but not much caramel, which is good. Slightly low abv for the style, I feel, which makes it lack that little bit of punch I expect. Tasty though. I would ramp it up to 5.8% or so.

From the cask at Mother Tree. Dark brown, almost black, with a tall, fine head. Nose of sweet caramel and chocolate and light fruits. Very sweet, chocolate fudge, caramel, light grape juice. Treacle. Strong and sweet. Smooth, slick body. Enjoyable but not really balanced.
