Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a dark brown with small off-white head with ok retention. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, brown sugar, chocolate, raisins, blackcurrant. Very pleasant. Taste has a dry roastiness to the malts, cola, light chocolate, raisins, nice berry fruity tang Good smooth body for the strength, fine carbonation. Very nice. I wish more breweries did a mild, its a great style if you're in the mood for a lighter beer. I've had my fill of Session IPAs.

Keg at the central market square booth that is Sir Toby's in Norwich. Light hazed purple with a pink head. Stated cherry in both aroma and taste elevates its depth, tasty and slightly sweet too. Very Belgian in style.

Hand-pulled pint in The Catherine Wheel (Henley on Thames), 3rd December 2024. Clear, but slightly grubby look; amber/copper in colour, white head that stayed a while. Mini-spiced nose and initial taste, malty and earthy, some berry like flavours too. It's too watery though, it has no body depth for a traditional Christmas beer.

Foamy off white head on a pale copper coloured body. Malt & hops aroma - old school. Medium bodied, smooth with a lively back. Caramel, biscuit, malt & tea tastes with lightly hopped bitter finish. Like a 1970s Bitter - Nice one.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a tight white head; fruity aroma; malty taste with some berries; and a biscuity finish with a light fruity bitterness. A so-so Christmas ale.
