Bottle at home from Grumpy Goat, 1st October 2020. Pours a dark brown black beer: aroma is coffee, cocoa. Taste is clear and quality coffee, with dark malts. It’s really coffee forward and nicely bitter, coffee bean, the flavour is continuous and it’s actually a very nice small batch coffee stout

Bottle ordered from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Dank and tart fruit aroma. Hazy light gold. Frothy translucent white head. Initial burst of heavy sourness. Tangy. Then tones down a tad for a less intense smooth finish. The influence of the lychee? The fizzy carbonation adds a sherbert effect. Light bodied. Thin. Buoyed by the previously mentioned carbonation. Dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff. I can see why their sours have been getting great reviews. Very drinkable.

Bottle delivered by A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Rich dark coffee aroma. Milky edge. A hint of sour berries. Dark. Inky. Frothy beige head. Light-medium bitter before sour berries and underlying sugary sweetness come through. The coffee bitterness remains throughout. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Decent enough. No mistaking that this is a coffee Stout.

Bottle at home, Picked up at the Grumpy Goat, in the garden, 12th July 2020. Pours a light pretty pink copper colour. Aroma is fruity, barrel, floral. Taste is fairly subtle compared with the depth of the other in the release, it’s unusual, medical, slight herbal, fruity. OK but doesn’t make the same impression as Juggler

Bottle at home in the garden, picked up from the Grumpy Goat, 5th July 2020. Pours a pretty pink, clear and with a large over carbonated, white head, fortunately the large head, does disappear quickly. Aroma is raspberry, tart fruit, lime. Taste is tart, refreshing, tart raspberry and some delicate lime, it’s assertive, but not overly sour, the fruit dominates and is the centre for the show, good combination of raspberry and blueberry and the lime shines in the finish. Good sour from a new Berkshire Brewery’s
