Keg at William IV. Dark brown black colour, golden creamy head. Very smooth and silky. Aroma is rich, lightly spiced, but creamy and roasty, vanilla. Taste is nice, high on creaminess, with just a bit of pumpkin and spice in the background. Cream corn too. Quite sweet and pretty filling. Meal in a glass. Quite nice.

Keg at William IV. Cloudy dark amber colour, small golden head. Taste is sweet, malty, bit stinky, light tropical fruit, sugar, slightly milky, boozy. Weird. Aroma is weird, lightly fruit, big ipa sticky caramel sweetness, something a bit funky too. Unique but not rushing for another.

Blimey, hope this hadn't been on since April! Keg at William IV. Ultra roasty, spicy, booze. Coffee, burnt, hmmm. Not actually that nice. Booze was overwhelming. Tasted nice for a sip, but struggled a little with a third.

Best beer of the night. Cask at William IV. Nutty, bit sweet, malty. Easy drinking, bit of caramel, toffee. Full bodied. Should have had another.

Keg at Wiliam IV. Fruity, light sourness. Redcurrant I guess. Not so exciting. Felt a bit uninspiring. Preferred the Clementine, but wasn't quite getting the Brodies sours this Saturday night. Fruitiness nor sourness were quite interesting enough.

Tap at King William IV. This was a vanilla version I think. Interesting, soft and milky, vanilla in the back, roast and dark fruitiness. Bit too boozy bit quite nice.

Cask at Southampton Arms. Pale blond colour with small white head. Aroma fruity pineapple, but citrus touch of hoppy bitterness. Taste bit creamy, lots of fruit, bit of malt. Quite soft and smooth. Got a bit of a orange lemon and pineapple squash taste about it which was strangely pleasant!

Cask at Southampton Arms. Dark brown, almost black. Golden bubbly head. Aroma is very roasty, bit of smoke and lots of coffee bitterness. Maybe some dark chocolate in there. Taste is smoky, roasty, coffee bitterness. Smooth texture but not really thick. Uncomplicated, but pretty nice.
