Keg at the brewpub. Opaque dark brown coloured pour with a thin fleeting light tan head. Aroma is big nutty coffee, creme caramel, amaretto biscuit and some sweet praline. Flavour is big dry nutty roast coffee with some earthy notes, little impression of sweetness from the praline flavour, but the finish is very dry. Palate is medium light bodied, chalky on the tongue with spritzy carbonation. Long lingering coffee roast. Punchy flavours for the abv.

Cask at the brewpub. Mostly clear reddy / orange coloured pour with a small loose off white head. Aroma is nice tangy orange, candied toffee Apple, Belgian yeast, and a little rubber note. Flavour is composed of unrefined sugars, candied orange, little tangy orange. Bitterness is firm and a bit like bitter lemon. Belgian yeast character is there but fairly mellow. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation. Little hot alcohol in the finish. OK but but the balance is a bit off and the finish could be drier.

Keg at the brewpub. Clearish golden orange coloured pour with absolutely no head. Looks like a very dehydrated piss. Aroma is subdued spicy hop leaf, grain, mineral. Flavour is little stale all round, lackluster grainy malt with a little toast and subdued spicy hop, hedgerow. Palate is chalky and abrasive carbonation. Bit of a carbonic acid bite in the finish. Boring dull beer.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. A somewhat murky looking gold beer, short pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and crisp. Light pale malts, trace of dry creamy sweetness. Mild seltzer in the mid and a carbonated nibble. Whisper of something tropical before a sharply crisp finish brings a brief flash of citric peel bitterness. Easy drinking.
