Keg draught from Tønne.. light caramel amber, clear with an uneven grouping of off-white head. Malty aroma, some
Toffee apple notes, orange peel,light sweet spice. Taste is also sweet and light with some delicious malty character. Very light bitterness lines the finish on the way down. Thin body with carbonation on the low side. Not bad.

Gravity dispense at the Royston, Broadstairs, 01/10/2025.
Black with a khaki cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is toffee, dark malts, caramel, molasses.
Taste comprises cocoa powder, caramel, hint of sticky toffee pudding, caramelised brown sugars.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close.
Okay does what it says on the tin affair but runs a little too sweet for my liking.

Norway have given the UK a Spruce Christmas Tree each year as a post-war thank you gift since 1947. Lower sour Saison, good hoppiness, sweetish taste from this, pretty tasty without too much of the expected floralness, it's quite regular in style.

440ml can from M&S in London, England. Pours a pitch black color with a thick, light tan head and very good retention. Decent lacing. Dark roasted malt aroma. Very dark roasted flavor too. Nice caramel notes and lactose with enough bitter dark chocolate flavor for balance. Medium body and medium carbonation. Light bitterness. And the 8.0% ABV is really well hidden. Really good beer, and easily one of the best imperial stouts I've ever had.

I'm surprised the Sticky Toffee Pudding style hasn't been abbreviated yet given it's become a popular style, I'm still waiting for the ex footballer Tomáš 'Rosický Toffee Pudding' to emerge!! This one is really good regardless, a brand new beer separate to their previous strong version. It's in its aftertaste where the toffee comes to the fore and lingers very long. Lots to enjoy in aroma too.

It's 25 years ago this week I first turned up in Münich on the last day of Oktoberfest, although I wasn't documenting my beer travels then. Very cask centric version of a Märzen, the style is excellent, not quite the authentic taste given the fermenting, but pretty close. Sweetish taste but expected, with a light stickiness.

Miss Peach is an official Parker Bros. Cluedo character. Lightly hazed golden coloured. More weizen a beer than its stated flavourings, which are light, so it's a little more style over flavour, but very pleasant regardless.
