Cask at The Dispensary, Liverpool. Pours opaque milky gold with white foam. Lots of coffee, with mild pistachio, creamy. Moderate sweet with lighter bitterness. Medium body with fine carbonation. Interesting stuff, white stout type vibes.

Can. Nose is fruity, citrus, moist dankness. Taste is fruity, citrus, leading to pronounced white grape, dank, almost mineral finish. Thinner than you would expect.

On tap at Carnival, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out rich roasted malt, some piney hops, and wood. Flavour is rich, with woody roasted malt, ample hops, and minimal booze that is well-hidden. Solid roast impie. Good stuff.

On tap at Carnival, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, some citrus, and pithy stone fruits. Flavour is full of citrusy hops, some gentle dankness, resins, and bready malt. Not exactly WC, but also definitely not a hazy. Reasonably hopped, but not the most expertly curated. Decent.

On cask at Carnival, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle English hops and bready malt. Flavour is bitter, with bitter fungal hops and some bready malt. Ugh, bitter, chaotic and imprecise. No good.

On tap at Carnival, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals lots of salt, lacto, and lime. Flavour is tart, with lots of lime, salt, lacto and who-knows-what cocktail adjuncts. Spicy, citrusy and salty. Decent for such an egregious concept.

On tap at The Ship & Mitre, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals oats, some tanginess (as though this is an oyster stout), and a hint of roast. Flavour is much the same, with medium roast, some oyster-like tanginess, and a dry earthy finish. Pleasant enough, but nothing special.

Keg at The Colmore; Jet is a new, jet black, thick adjunct free stout. It's an absolute beast, full of deep liquorice, chocolate and roasted coffee aromas. It's got a bitter backbone, but just enough to hold the sweetness and roastiness at bay. They had me at adjunct free
