Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with some hints of alcohol. In the mouth it is sweet but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour is roasted malts, liquorice, alcoholic strength and a fair dollop of coffee. Finish is decidedly dry and very boozy. This is decent enough but alcohol makes it seem rough and ready.

Cask @ The Hoops, Barton. Dark brown/black with a small beige head. Aroma of blackberries and roasted malts. Taste of of blackberries, roasted malts and chocolate. Tangy, sweet and sour. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Well there was no chance that I wouldn’t try a blackberry-flavoured beer but one pint was definetely more than enough.

[Cask at the Basingstoke Beer Festival 2025 at 6.5% ABV.] A glossy chocolate brown pour with a loose cream coloured head; aroma of chocolate and roasted grains; smooth and full bodied with a roasted malt taste with a little coffee and chocolate; and a light bitterness and some obvious alcohol to finish. Very tasty.

Old rating - 330ml bottle from Ransom's garden centre in Jersey. Actually, Elgoods Coolship Sour Mango Ale in different packaging, so not the dismissive novelty beer! It pours a light red with a tiny head. Reasonable carbonation, but not quite sparkling. Aromas & tastes of mango sour, peach, wood, flora & tart. Moderate body & sweetness. Enjoyable as a one off
