Draught Huge, tan and stable head over utterly black beer, leaving textbook lace. Meaty esters, roast, maybe some capsicum already, breadcrust and somehow strawberry. Strawberry again in the flavour, but soon overtaken by capsicum/capsaicine; roast, and sweet chocolate. Very well-bodied, chewy, and finally hot from the capsaicine. I'll never be a partisan of red pepper in beer, it defies its essence, somehow. Txs to Stef!

Draught Huge, fluffy and lacey head over fully hazy yellow beer. Other grains, faint citrus. Not much in the nose, really. Sweet, and slightly fruitsour. Some sourish grapes are quite plausible. Unusual malts. Medium bodied at least, good carbonation, very slick. Nice, but I would have liked more punch from the grapes.

Draught Huge, very lacey and dense off-white head, leaving textbook rings over fully hazy yellow-orange beer. Nice aromas of citrus, lemonbalm, almost bodyhop perfumey, fresh & inviting. Sweet, bit sticky, other grains' flavour. Dried herbs potpourri from the alternative bodyshop. Rather well-bodied, and seen the flavours, I'd almost say soapy. Beautiful nose, unfortunately the main flavour veers off to the (over)perfumed.

Draught Huge white lacey head over hazy yellow beer with a green sheen. 'Beery' nose, malts, old beerglasses, bit herbs & spicy. Sweetish with herbal and spicy overtones. Lots of maltsugars, making up the backbone. Maybe medium bodied, well-carbonated. Rather run-of-the-mill, if nowhere bad nor faulty.

Draught Medium, stable and dense white head: hazy yellow beer. Sour nose, lemony, citrus and rhubarb. Faint wild herbs. Sourish, again herbs, bit other grains (?). Again rhubarb, but the medlars were not ripe enough, I guess (or too Japanese). Lipsmacking acidity, bit slick. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Very nice indeed, but I would have preferred a more outspoken flavour of the medlars.
