Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Very dark brown. Almost opaque with a small off-white/khaki head. Aroma is peanut, chocolate, vanilla with a little bit of smoke. Sweet taste, more peanut. Slightly bitter in the finish. Light body with soft to no carbonation. Decent if fragmented, and certainly worth trying.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Lightish gold, hazy with a small white head. Fruity aroma: grapefruit, pineapple and a touch of vanilla. Bittersweet taste, white grapefruit rind, a slight plastic note. Fairly weighty bitterness in the finish. Full Holy with carbonation on the heavy side. Maybe not all that memorable but still good.
