Cask at William IV. (Quite a while ago, but I didn't have the details to add it). Slightly cloudy, blond/orange colour with no carbonation at all. Aroma has a bit of blood orange about it and the usual lemon citrus. Taste is a bit strange and has a bitter finish. A weird one, for sure, but quite liked it.

Cask at William IV. Pale blond, not much white head. Aroma is herbal, maybe deep heat, clove? Quite sweet. Taste is very herbal and more deep heat. Lots of booze, bit too much for a saison maybe. Imperial saision? Quite strange and the overwhelming deep heat booziness put me off a little bit, but quite interesting.

Cask at William IV. Dark brown colour, not much head. Aroma very similar to the summer saison, herbal and deep heat. Taste too. Very similar to the summer saision, just a different colour as far as I could tell. Quite medicinal.

Cask at the William IV. Clear pale blond colour, small bubbly white head. Aroma is grapefruit sharp, full on hop pong, maybe bit of resin. Taste is bitter and fruity, lemon, bit of sour cream. Can really taste the booze, and probably shouldn't have started off with a pint of this.

Cask at William IV. Having this on Friday made Saturday morning very tough, although it was lovely. Dark brown, no head. Ultra sticky and thick. Aroma is lots of boozy sweetness, very roasty, lots of dark fruit, coffee liqueur. Taste is sweet caramel, treacle, lots of booze. A third was more than enough, but it was very nice.
