Keg at the Lovibonds tap takeover Brewdog Camden. Translucent golden / straw coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is lovely sour lemon, with earthy straw, lemony zip, tart apple. Flavour is really grainy, grain husks, straw, zippy tart lemon and apple fruit, grain / fruit tanin. Palate is fine, light refreshing body, spritzy carbonation, tart finish. Lingering tangy sour fruit. Nicely balanced

Bottle at home, from Tourist Town’s Waitrose, 12/04/15. Hazed golden amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is bitter fruit, light floral, bready malt, toffee apple. Taste comprises caramel, light candied fruits, hint of brown sugar, mellow fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Inoffensive easy drinking amber affair, nothing I’d look to revisit but nothing wring with it.

Bottle at The Cad’s 10yr Shindig thanks to Colin/Fin. It pours opaque darkest brown with a small off-white head. The nose is rich chocolate gateaux, vanilla, oak, juicy, bourbon and some dark fruits. The taste is bitter, rich-roast, creamy, earth, wood, vanilla, toasted coconut, cocoa, bounty bar and some warming alcohol towards the finish. Fulsome body, moderate carbonation and velvety mouth-feel. Great bourbon on the aroma. Smooth and well-rounded. Nice work.

Bottle at Toms 10 yr anniversary. Black beer lasting off white head. Chocolate sponge aroma. It’s ok. Clearly not my thing but the chocolate is good. Smooth. Bit boozy. Ok.
