Gravity cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Amber, cloudy with almost no head. Caramel biscuit, palm oil, shockingly naked alcohol in the confusing but ultimately tempting aroma. Taste is sour boozy, then sweet, then with a dogged bitter note in the finish. More caramel and a nice of breadfruit in the aftertaste. Thinner body than expected for the ABV, but it’s got enough meatiness to it. I love the idea of pale stouts but I struggle with the dichotomy of the caramelly malty sweetness with the intense alcohol burn. This is very well worth trying though!

On keg at the Hanging Bat. I loaded this as an English Strong Ale as it wasn’t sweet enough to follow the Barley Wine style. Perhaps American Strong Ale would’ve been appropriate. Appearance - cloudy amber. Thin head. Nose - oh this is a coffee beer! Green chilli too. Taste - definitely green chilli going on. Coffee of course. Palate - rich and creamy in texture and body. Fairly ok finish considering the strength. Overall - it’s fine, but I’m no fan of coffee beers.

Keg at the hanging bat... Soft dry floral funk fruit nose... Dry fruits... Long funk fruit... Soft sweet fruits
Lots of Belgian chocolate and crema. Redcurrants and blackcurrants. Soft malts. Hops are a tad faded but still good. A bit of licorice too.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol June 2017. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Sweet berry fruit, some toasty malts, a touch of chocolate, leading to a gentle finish. One of a number of dark beers tried on the day, and the last impressive, although perfectly drinkable.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Clear, very dark, ruby red. Loose, dissipating, beige head. Nose has burnt toffee. Blackcurrant sweets. Some burnt toast. Some vegetal notes. Taste has some toffee sweetness and ashy bitterness. Low carbonation. Big bitterness to finish. Not the best offering from these two brewers.
