Dark brown with a thick, initially unpleasant-looking creamy head. A delicate aroma, slightly burnt toast, with notes of licorice, cocoa, and coffee. The body is light to medium, becoming flat after foaming, with an interesting earthy, herbal bitterness. The initial impressions are positive, with roasted notes, coffee, chocolate, and a slight acidity, followed by a sudden emptiness, a lighter body, and only the finish is brimming with flavor.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty, light hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, yeasty, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Keg at Sanzibar, Sedgley. Darkest brown ans glossy. Thick foamy white head with decent lacing. Aroma has creamy coffee with a sour streak. Flavourwise it's surprising sour - tart - sour spur coffee (plus bitternes). Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. OK. Not at it's best? And also more of a Mild?

Clear pale gold with a frothy white head and a soft fruity aroma. Sweet citrus up front, some light malt, floral notes, a touch of bitterness and a dry finish.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#47. A second beer in Birmingham on the way home. Clear light golden and light session textured too. This is a plain hoppy-sweetish brew.

500ml bottle from Anthony's of Wellington. Poured into a Batemans UK pint sleeve glass at home on 1st February 2026. Clean and clear golden body, snow white crown. Slight honey sweetness in the make up of this, not too strong, but you pick it up straight away (helps with it saying it's a honey beer of course). Not a huge fan of honeyed beers, but this is fine, it's the Belgian ones I struggle with for some reason.
