Keg at the Portcullis tap, Portchester, South Coast Jolly Boys Day Out 20/09/2025.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that retains well.
Nose is tangy fruit esters, sultanas, brown bread, herb.
Taste comprises toffee, raisins, brown bread, clove, herb.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Okay if a little overly tangy for my liking.

(Can, 0.44l, from Seven Cellars, 20250912) The beer poured deep golden and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had clear signs of infection. Flavours likewise. Awful.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - deep brown and cloudy. Beige to tan head.
Nose - brown bread and burnt toffee. No banana and spice though.
Taste - chewy toffee, malt loaf, only the vaguest edge of banana or spice, had to look for it.
Palate - medium bodied, chewy middle and dry, malty finish.
Overall - I don't think this one is on style, but it's a good beer.
