33cl bottle from Beers of Europe: BBE February 2027, drank at home on 21st November 2024. Clean and clear old gold body, wispy off-white topping. Pleasant hop front with a sweet malty overtone, boozy but it became a little too sweet and 'metallic twangy' towards the finish. Really enjoyed the first few sips, fell away to being a headache inspired juice soon after.

Creamy off white head on a chestnut coloured body. Malt, fruity & grain aroma. Medium to thin bodied, lightly carbonated & clean on the back. Treacle, roasted, burnt & malt tastes with grainy citrussy finish. Probably way better on Cask.

Clear deep amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin but sweet malts, sweet caramel and cream. Sweet ripe fruits turning to sweet berry fruits on the back end, both red and dark berries. A light alcohol spicy nip. More caramel and berry fruits on the light crisp finish. I think I am supposed to turn my nose up at this? Dunno! All I care about is what does it taste like and is it drinkable. The answers to those questions here are, alright and yes.

Dark brown with a lovely ruby hue to it and a frothy tan head. Fruit malt and chocolate on the nose, pretty light bodied with roasted malt up front, hints of smoke maybe, with a dark fruit flavour, a kick of coffee bitterness ahead of a dry, fruity finish

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Dark chestnut to black with a tiny beige head. Chocolate syrup and liquorice at first, followed by stewed plums and cream and café latte. Quite a dry finish, with a mild roastiness in the aftertaste. Not bad this one, and grew on me the more I drank it.

Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear dark ruby with a thin beige head. Aromas of light coffee and chocolate. Taste adds a dry herbal note. Ashy finish.
