Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Very dark, conker brown. Mostly clear. Thin, messy, leggy, lasting, tan head. Looks good. Nose has salted caramel chocolate. And you can leave it at that, really. Job done. Taste is sweet and salty in equal measure. Touch of vine fruit bitterness. Some hop bitterness, too. Smooth mouthfeel. Pretty slick and rich. Fine carbonation. Salty and fruity bitterness to finish. Nails it.

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft but with decent trailing carbonation. Rich but smooth dark malts. Boozy dark chocolate liqueur. The salted caramel aspect is pretty feckin salty! Too much so to be frank. Some dark fruits on the end. Yeah, feels like some weird Imperial Chocolate Gose or something. Not hating it but it is a bit clunky.

Keg at Brew Club - Hackney. Pours hazy gold with a slight, creamy white head. So so, has some rindy citrus, sturdy bitter grass, some astringency, a little plastic. Medium bodied with fineness to average carbonation. A bit harsh, astringent in the finish, quite bitter, more grass and plastic. So so overall.

On tap at Ply, Manchester. Almost the colour of rosé wine with a bit of white head. Light malts of white chocolate combine with an idd strawberry scent. Sweet taste with some fruit notes, followed by a bitter acidity in the finish. Like too many white stout, this has an artificial plastic burn in the aftertaste. Weird and interesting but unfortunately doesn't hit the mark for me.

Keg at Ply Bar, Manchester. Mid- to dark gold with a slight haze. A swirl of white head and lots of lacing. Gluey resinous malty smell with a bit of vanilla and lemon. Sweet taste with an agreeable hoppy spiciness. Hop bitterness in the finish and aftertaste. A difficult style to pull off but this one is pretty decent.

Keg at the brewery tap. Mid- to dark gold, slightly hazy with a ring of white head. Apple and cantaloupe notes on the nose with a floral feel. Bitter astringent taste, some apple skin, some white grape, some white pepper. Intensely astringent in the finish with an intense hop burn. Carbonation is on the heavy side. While it's a little too astringent for me, I warm to it over the sip.
