Cask at the Nag’s Head, Reading on 20th September 2025. Almost impenetrably black with tan foam and partial lacing. Rich and intense roastiness in aroma. Lush roasty malts in-mouth with smoky spices - some subtle others bold. A coffee and smoky spice finish. Smooth yet engaging mouthfeel, and plenty of body. Exquisite.

Deadication beer to Huey Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, died on this day in 1989. More than hoppy golden ale in my opinion, on the boundaries of pale ale. Nevertheless it's a sessionable, mildly hazy brew with hints of tropical fruit.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, a few off white bubbles never form a head. Light palate, smooth with a surprising light viscosity. Light smooth pale malts. Smooth cooling pine. Candyish lime led tropical fruits and stone fruits, slightly resinous. Papaya emerging. A hop spice is bubbling underneath and really comes forth. Trace of esters. Juicy and hop fruity but, pretty quirky with it. Alright though.
