16/6/2023. From BIAB at the 18th Braintree Real Ale Festival. Pours clear pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of toffee, banana, vanilla, banoffee pie, cheesecake mix, light herb, slight soapy edge. Odd notes in the aroma. Heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, oily and watery, low carbonation. Very sweet, but guess it's okay.

Box @ Cromwell's Tap House Sausage & Cider Fest. Pale golden yellow pour with a fine mist. Gentle biscoff aroma. Taste bears a pleasant caramelised sweetness, ginger, cinnamon, biscoff, light bodied, vague apple sweetness in the distance. I do like Biscoff, but not sure I'd want to have it in an alcoholic drink. Fine for a novelty.

Cask pulled @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Hazed golden cider with an easy drinking texture. It definitely has a biscuit-sweetness to its apple flavour, but there's certainly nothing heavy tasting about this.
