Cask at the Beer Emporium / Bristol. Pours clear honey-gold with a small, creamy topping. Some fatty Englishbyeast on the nose, crunchy hay, husky grains, lemon peel. Light sweet flavourbwith mild grassy bitterness, more hay and grain husk. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more husky notes, bitter lemon peel, hay. So so.

Cask at Beer Emporium. It pours clear copper with a small white head. The aroma is soft, oily, honey, toasty grain, porridge and earth. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, green, grass, toasty grain, chewy, tannin and chewy action with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit chewy and grainy.

Dan's Stag. Beer Emporium. Bristol. Cask. As West Coast IPA. 4.2%. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Sweetish dry malts, a little milky sweetness. Modest orange peel, trace of tangerine. Light dry finish. A bit skewed.

At Merton Winter Beer Festival 2018. Black beer cola colour lasting tan head. Less harsh on aroma than the brandy version. I'd like to know what sherry cask this was. Dry oloroso? Chocolate tar dryness. Some sweetness. Tar molasses. I rather liked it. Again hid abv well. No heat. Good.

At Merton Winter Beer Festival 2018. Black dark cola coloured lasting tan head. Chocolate toffee brandy aroma. Sweet aroma. Oak woody. Warming aroma. I mean it'll get you drunk hides abv well. Barrel age character on aroma. Just about ok. Too much wood for me. Made me happy though.
