(Cask at Euston Tap West, London, 25 July 2019) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, resin, grapefruit, leafy hops, biscuits and a balanced citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty. Quite nice.

[ 33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy dark chocolate coloured pour, almost black, with a fast fading coffee coloured head; aroma of drinking chocolate; smooth and silky in the mouth with a luxurious chocolate taste; and a touch of chocolate liquor in the finish. Excellent.

A colleague who subscribes to Beer 52 kindly gave me this as he knew I was ticking off Surrey beers - to be fair he benefitted from a Pohjala beer in return. Sweet chocolate aroma. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head soon shrinks away. Medium bitter coffee with a hoppy edge. Underlying creamy sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Nice porter with a bitter bite.

Can from Garsons Farm Shop. Low key citrus aroma. Some spice. Pours thin. Hazy pale orange. Thin translucent white head has a brief burst of life before retreating. Initially quite a low key sour before this increases in strength alongside quinine bitterness. It's all a bit unbalanced and I am not keen on this. Light bodied. Slick. Prickly fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent. For me this falls short.

330ml can: poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' vase shaped pint glass at home on 9th Oct 2019. Hazy yellow body, white head with lacing. The nose is both tropical fruit hoppy and piney hop in nature, the taste similar with the malts playing second fiddle to the hop content.

330ml can: BB 12th Jul 2020. Poured into an Augustijn chalice at home on 5th Oct 2019. Lovely dark body, beige topping. Chocolate all the way here, dark, rich chocolate with a slight coffee grains bitterness for balance. Smooth and easy to drink, very pleasant all round.
