[on Nitrokeg at The Railway Inn, Borth] This is for the "Dark Smooth" version. A decent mild, despite being on Nitrokeg; chocolate and caramel dominate.

[on draught at the Railway Inn, Borth] My friend Justin was raving about this beer and insisted I must try it while in Wales. It’s fruity (plums?) with a hint of spice on the back of the tongue, descending into a dusky maltiness. It’s okay, but nothing special. On the plus side, the excellent landlord in this pub poured the pint, insisted I drink about a quarter of it, then topped it back up again to ensure I got a full pint. What a great fellow!
