Draught keg at Tønne, Leicester. Dark, dark brown and mostly opaque witha tiny ring of tan head. Aroma of chocolate and hazelnut and a little marshmallow. Taste is sweet with a little bit of bitterness - not well balanced but at least cuts the sweetness - at the finish.medium body with softer carbonation. Not bad.

Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Lovely light gold, a greenish hue maybe. Hazy with a ring of white head. Plenty of apricot in the aroma, vanilla malt, light berry. The taste doesn't disappoint. Balanced and sweet with biscuity notes and sweaty stone fruit. Light tropical fruit in the finish. Watery body but the intense carbonation brings it home. Great stuff.

330ml can via Beer52. Drank at home on 19th November 2025. Poured into an old Corsendonk Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass. Slight haze in the old gold coloured body, white crust that faded quickly. Soft malty front with a semi sweet feel, some hop action calmed it down and it finished a nicely balanced lager/fest bier.

Can that was sat in The Good Intent's fridge for some time... presumably a Christmas 2024 special. Opaque ruby brown. Thick foamy beige head. Aroma had chewy rye spice and malts with sweet sugary berries. Flavourwise the sweetness is present but dialled down compared to the aroma... berries again. As well as sweet and spicy rye. A sour tang cones through. And some resinous bitterness. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I like. The August 25 Best Before date doesn't seem to have been an issue.
