Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market. Thanks zvikar. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of milk chocolate, some roastiness, an oxidized note and some cookies. Sweet roasty flavor, a bit sugary, with chocolate, lactose and a bit of caramel. Medium-bodied. A bit too sweet but decent.

Full pint, hand pulled cask at Mr. Thomas Chop House. Near clear copper coloured body. Tiny layer at the top. Malt-fruity nose. Ditto taste, rather jam-like leading to a resin-like bitterness. Watered. A little floury on the swallow, otherwise a quite decent one in great pub surroundings and company with Adam and Finn (Manchester, 22.01.2013).

(Cast at some roadside pub close to Stonehenge, October 2010) I haven’t had this beer for a long time - the previous time could have been in London in 2001. Bass Pale Ale is quite average bitter. Flavours and aromas contain toffee and malts. No suprises there. No flaws either. Ok but boring and too smooth.

On tap, pint. Clear amber color, small white head and low carbonation. Aroma of caramel malt, fruity hops and banana note. Taste starts with sweet caramel malt, followed by refreshing fruitiness and finished lightly bitter. Medium body, slick texture and almost flat carbonation in palate. Very drinkable, but still not much more than average...

Refrigerated 11.2 oz. brown bottle poured into a shaker. Pours opaque black with small dark brown hightlights and small light brown head. Nice medium small bubble lacing, thick body, medium carbonation, and wonderful lactose aroma. Taste is milk chocolate, caramel malt, lactose, and some herbal hops. Nothing over the top, almost flawless, this is the epitome of milk stouts. I really love this one, I wonder if I am getting soft with my ratings.

1 Pint Cask on the ferry back home – thx. to Unn. Pours amber with an ultra-creamy head and near phenomenal lacing – chemical or just the cask thing doing its stuff? Smell is mellow sweet caramel, lots of biscuit, lightly floral, pale-ish yeast. Taste is equally vague, plenty of biscuit malt, floral, bitter herb, yeasty, very light natural metals & tad oily. Fuller biscuit mouth feel, lower carb. Not really offensive, certainly drinkable.

Light mild that is almost black. Has a head and a malty aroma, not a huge amount of flavour though.

Handpull at Newcastle Town Football Club - absolutely nothing wrong with this, a bit bland, but so much better than so many others I’ve had this year. Nonetheless, I can’t think of much to add to an average beer. In a dessert you’ll drink anything, in this case it was a welcome drink.

Low alcohol stout with a nice roasted malt aroma, but not carried through too well into the taste, but it does maintain a decent texture.

0.33l botttle from a supermarket in Monfalcone. This is a crystal clear dark golden one. Not as much as an unfiltered particle or a hint of blurriness. It also has a big bubbly just off-white head that's lacing down the glass. It does really not smell that much. Light grainy and malty perhaps with a hint of both caramel and thin hops. Not horrible, just not all that much. It has a thin oily texture and it's average carbonated. Quite boozy at first in the flavor! Then, it calms down after a while and becomes more sweet like. Malty and a hint of caramel also here in the flavor. Not an extreme bitterness, but it's there in the boozy finish and aftertaste. Did not expect much of this, but I have to say I got more than I was expecting. 09.06.2012
