(Can) Pours hazy mid brown with a huge, but quite loose, and audible, tan head. Nice aroma of banana and clove with notes of toffee and hints of toast. Smooth medium body with lively carbonation giving a good mouthfeel. Good complex taste. There’s an overall toffee backbone, plenty of banana and cloves, some hints of tart white grapes and even a little bitterness in the finish. Very enjoyable.

Can. Dark brown with a light tan head that's soon less than a coat (but persists in a nucleated goblet). Aroma of stewed fruit, some leather, earthy spices, grainy bread, oak. Then rather more than what that led me to expect - quite full bodied but with a vinous and acidic touch to balance. Prunes, grapes, some distant licorice & chocolate. Rich with spices, bitterness and oak lightening things at the end. Quite Pannepotish. Another very good one.

Canvent. Unclear deep amber with a large pale beige head that lasts pretty well. Fairly gentle aroma of toffee, bread, light spices. Rich malt with sweet, singed toffee, heavy bread. Strongish bitterness and yet delicate spices at the end. Good - but preferred Altogether.

Can. Murky dark red brown with a few bubbles in a nucleated glass that try but fail to form a beige head. Aroma of plums, red wine vinegar, damp wood. Sour and lightish bodied with red fruit and bracken, a zingy Bretty finish with spices. Drying oak.

Can. Gold with a good inch of white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma is floral with crackery dough, old lemony funk, gentle spices. Dryish with modestly funky dough, bracken, peppery bitterness (a bit more of which wouldn't have gone astray). Good.
