Keg draught at BeerheadZ Nottingham. Mid- to dark brown, a swirl of beige/tan head. Salted caramel, bready Pretzel, a little bit of rubber. Sweet taste, loads more caramel and a little treacle. Some bitter notes on the finish with soft stone fruit. Light body for an imperial stout but some soft carbonation lifts it up.

440ml can. Slightly hazy orange, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, caramel. Taste is the same, piney, grapefruit, orange, with some sweet caramel/toffee malt and grains, bitter hop finish with some light earthy notes. It's old school in a sort of nostalgic way. As jmgreenuk said; a bit simple by today's standards but actually pretty enjoyable.

440ml can from the Phantom taproom. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, light toffee caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, fresh, malt, light toffee, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. A rather simple IPA by today’s standards but very tasty and moreish.

Can split at L6, thanks to Fergus, 02/03/23. Light black with a tan cap that thins to the edge. Nose is chocolate, light smoke, dark malts, brown sugar sprinkle, toffee, dried fruit rinds. Taste comprises burnt toffee, earthy fruit rinds, charr, mellow roast, cocoa powder. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced spike of alcohol. Okay easy sipper but lacking depth ... simply sticking Old Chimneys in the name doesn't make for a great.

Can shared in CW - cheers to Fergus. Pours clear black-brown with a foamy, beige head. Medium-big sweet flavour, some ash, smoked meat, cocoa, roast, raisins, earth. Full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Moderate warmth to finish, more smoked meat, a little candied ham, rounded roast, bit of boozy warmth, mild bitter ash. Solid.
