Keg at the White Hart - London. Pours mostly clear brown with a creamy tan head. The nose holds robust yet understated, well toasted coffee with accents of burnt toast. Light-medium sweet with some burnt sugars, charred wholegrain toast, bitter over-brewed coffee, mild chalky cocoa. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Drying finish with more rich, bittersweet coffee, espresso, baking cocoa, roasted malts can burnt grains, bitter earth. Quite rich overall. Lingering bitter coffee flavor in the mouth. Solid.

Keg at the White Hart - London. Dry-hopped version. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Strong aroma that smacks of Brett, with slight grass, melon and tangerine. Medium sweet flavor with more melon, some mango, citrus, mild grassy bitterness, faint funk. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation. Pretty dry on the finish with more melon, orange rind, dry bread, grass, pale grains. Not bad.

Cask at the White Hart - London. Pours clear golden-amber with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma holds toasted grainy bread and slight leafy hops. Light sweet flavor with more toasted bread, grain, some dirt, leaves, burnt brown sugar, leathery berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation; pretty good condition. Dry finish with further fruity leather, leafy and earthy bitterness, dry toasted grains. A classically-styled bitter. Fine.

Keg at the brewpub. Translucent reddy / light amber coloured pour with a small lasting off white cap. Aroma is nice floral pollen, lemon citrus, with a little caramel malts. Flavour is composed of clean base malts with a little cara malt, tropical fruit, tangerine and pollen hop.. Pretty smooth for the abv., but the cara malt detracts from the hop, which is pretty good. Palate is medium full, little sticky on the tongue with lowish carbonation. Pretty good IPA. Firm clean fruity bitterness.

Keg at the brewpub. Clouded golden / straw coloured pour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is grainy pils grainy, bread dough, orange Shubert, strawberry fruit, fruitella sweets. Flavour is sweet berry, doughy grains, orange peel, strawberry flavourings. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, doughy. Some strawberry / peach yogurt on the nose as well. Pretty unique beer that is hard to classify into a style, but saison seems appropriate.
