Bottle from Morrisons. A new bottled beer from a supermarket is something of a rarity for me these days. Pours a dark ruby with well formed foamy beige top, nice lacing. Very tempting aroma of caramel, coffee and chocolate. Taste has a toffee and chocolate with an underlying bitter coffee and hint of orange peel. Tasty. For a supermarket offering this is a bit of a triumph. Best Badger beer I've had to date.

Bottle from Waitrose. My 10th Badger beer. Clear gold with small white head, looks very carbonated. Quite a citric aroma, slightly soapy with biscuit notes. Light mouthfeel with a high but fine carbonation. Taste has a floral drying quality with some biscuit and citric notes underneath. Nowhere near as good as their Golden Champion beer.

Can from Morrisons labelled 'Outland Milk Stout'. Pours near black with nice beige foam. Aroma of chocolate, light roast, vanilla - simple but an inviting pleasantness to it. Flavours are there with good intensity of roast and chocolate with a moderate milky vanilla sweetness and coconut hints. Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation. Really good.

Bottle from Morrison's. Clear amber-brown with small white head. Aroma of malt, orange pith, flora. Taste is again quite malty, orange pith and zest, pine, quite resinous with occasional funkiness, pepper. Medium bodied, slightly cloying. A traditional English style but they've upped the hop level a bit more than normal for a traditional brewer. In this example it has imparted more flavour but has left it slightly unbalanced and oily. Having said that overall I reasonably enjoyed it.
