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
gave a cheers!

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.

[April 2023] Clear brown with a frothy off-white head, certainly looks the part of a classic English bitter. Taste is malt forward with just a hint of bitterness

Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours very dark reddish-brown with a small foamy tan head. There’s a slightly off-putting aroma of roasted malts mixed with potatoes and cabbage. In the mouth it is sweet and smooth with a creamy texture, though somewhat watery as well. Flavour is roasted malts and strong coffee, with some hints of liquorice coming through later. Finish is a blend of sweet and bitterness. This is decent, but takes a bit of getting used to.

330ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Ruddy brown and a bit cloudy with a small ring of beige head. Figs and brandied raisins on the nose, lots of fruited caramel, pretty boozy notes. Sweet, sweet, sweet taste, lots more fig, sugary caramel. A gentle bitterness in the finish. Thick body, very low carbonation. Actually pretty good.

5th beer in my mini-tasting with Bertie (my 11 year old Border Collie), Margie is at the Shrewsbury Flower Show with friends. 9th August 2024, late afternoon, 500ml bottle from Beers of Europe; BBE March 2025. Poured into a UK pint vase shaped glass in my dining room. Slight haze to my amber pour, beige topping. Semi-sweet malty front, not a lot of hop action early on, they kick in a bit later. Caramel like sweetness gives way to some bittering hop in the finish, no citrus fruits were harmed in this brew!

75cl bottle @ final beer tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 24. Thanks Mark for this. Troublesome tight champagne cork but got there in the end. Pours chestnut brown, medium white head. Jeremy sums it up well. Mediocre, lacklustre malty beer, a bit sombre and boring, nothing remarkable about it all, little hoppy presence which is a shame considering their efforts. Happy Birthday to Elgoods all the same 🎉
