440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a massive fizzy tan head. The aroma is light roasty malt, earthy, mineral, light chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet and liqourice bitter, with a roasty, liqourice, light chocolate, lactose palate. Medium bodied with lively initial carbonation. Some mild infection going on sadly, but thankfully the beer was still drinkable.

440ml can. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a big, lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is malt and dark chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, light chocolate, lactose palate with hints of coffee in the finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Ok, but a little light and watery.

440ml can courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Gluten Free. Pale golden colour, big foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma of fruits, grains, banana note, grassy. Taste sweetish, grainy, pale malt, fruity, with banana, yeasty, and some grassy bitterness. Light bodied, medium to high carbonation, drying grassy bitter finish. Quite OK.

Half-pint, cask, shared with Finn at Nags's Head. Bright amber body, low white head, dotted spots on the glass. Promising aromas of mid-sweet malts and ripe fruits. Blended taste character of caramel malts and dried fruits, Smooth malt-fruity ending, semi sweet. Well bodied. Likable. (Reading 19.11.2021).
