330ml can from the brewery. Pours a very dark brown, big beige head which recedes to leave a good covering. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts with hay and flora. Taste is dry coffee, roasted malts, semi-sweet, hint of chocolate. Just shy of a moderate body but decent for 4.8%, nice subtle carbonation. This has a nice session stout quality to it.

330ml can from the brewery as part of their mixed case. Pours muddy gold, two finger white head which dissipates to a thin but consistent lacing. Aroma of wheat, coriander with only a hint of a zesty citrus Taste is the same but the citrus is more noticeable particularly in the finish with a moderate bitterness. A yeastiness is also present. Quite a smooth mouthfeel. Enjoyable. Its nice to have a wheat ale brewed in the West Midlands, there cant be that many.

330ml can from brewery. Dark clear amber-brown, small beige head, thin retention. Aroma of caramel, stone fruits, berries, liquorice. Taste is malty but some decent hops, caramel, light fruity, semi-sweet, moderate bitterness. Light to moderate body. Very refreshing and sessionable, should be in a 440ml can but maybe for the sake of my waistline its a good thing its not!

330ml can from the brewery. Pours dark gold, small white head, minor retention. Aroma of caramel, bread, resin; much more of a malty blonde than I was expecting but its decent. Taste is charred caramel, smoke, grain, semi-sweet, with a dry bitterness in the finish. Unusual, in some ways it reminds of a more palatable version of the steam beer I had from Dhillon's Brewery even if its not brewed as one. Light to moderate body, quite smooth, moderate carbonation is fine. Its odd but I quite like it.

330ml can. Poured a hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light gluey, yeasty, floral, woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, crisp, yeasty, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. As lagers go, itโs up there with the best.

Third by cask, shared with Finn on the third day of GBBF 2020 Winter. Jewellers' Bar. Covering beige head to a pitch black body, scattered lacing. Restrained doughy malts on the nose, lightly roasted. Taste of bread-like malts supported by a touch of liquorice, ashy. Malt-driven end, dry and mildly roasted. Satisfying. (Birmingham 06.02.2020).
