Draught keg at the brewery tap, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Dark brown, opaque with a big but quickly dissipating khaki head. Massive coffee aroma with floral and liquorice characters. Some earth and a little hit of tobacco. Complex taste, bittersweet with flashes of umami. Getting coffee, molasses, lavender. Medium body and carbonation. A little strange but still nice.

Draught keg at the brewery tap, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Orange/pink and hazy, with a little bit of off-white head. Raspberry dominates the aroma, some hard citrus. Taste is tart, not impossibly so but it's got a good sourness going on. More raspberry and some orange, kumquat and a touch of rum. Maybe vanilla? Light to medium body with good carbonation. Nice.
