Bottle gift from my brother – drank at home. Pours a very deep chestnut with a sizable frothy tan head. There’s butter, caramel and fudge in the aroma. In the mouth it is surprisingly sharp at first, but with some underlying sweetness. Flavour starts off with malts and chocolate, but citrus notes come soon after. Later there are hints of oranges, caramel and bitter hops. Bitterness is more pronounced in the finish. This is decent.

Near black with a creamy tan head and an espresso aroma. Smooth and creamy, sweet roasted malt, big coffee notes and a dry, mellow bitter finish.

Very slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy white head and a soft fruity aroma. Light bodied but with a touch of creaminess, cereal malt and light fruit with a very slightly bitter dry finish.

A Welsh beer for the closest I'll get to Wales in 2025, the border is one mile away from this bar. Clear golden and coming in at 5.6% here, it's a lovely smooth traditional IPA with its strength more impactful on body rather than taste. This is hoppy in the main with hints of fruit available.

The last in a surprisingly fair afternoon of beer hunting in Whitchurch, a place unknown to me before today. This beer too is now known and is a pleasantly hopped easy-drinking beer, its water feels good in the palate, compliments the Citra hop well and light sweetened tropical fruits are evident in both aroma and taste.
