Keg at the Flint Cottage, Wycombe. Black with a thick beige head and a light fizz. Black coffee and caramel with - unfortunately - a hint of vomit. Rather thin. Not great.

Keg at the Flint Cottage, Wycombe. Rich gold colour with a white head and a light fizz. Pleasant enough tropical fruit aroma - mango and pineapple - diminishes considerably in the taste. Mild bitterness. Watery and rather bland. Inoffensive and forgettable.

Keg draught at Brewpoint, Bedford. Reddish light brown, clear with a ring of beige head. Sweet, malty aroma, with some caramel and treacle. Sweet and just a little bit cloying with notes of golden syrup. Strong boozy finish with a little stone fruit in the aftertaste. Flat body. I like this.

Keg tap at Brewpoint, Bedford. Dark brown, only a bit translucent with a foamy beige/tan head. Deep, malty aroma with chocolate notes and a hint of black cherry. Sweet taste, not so much to it but that is typical of the style. More gooey malt in the finish. Lightly carbonated. Very nice.

Keg at the Flint Cottage, HWY, 01/06/21. Black with a good sized lasting tan cap. Nose is a little on the thin side... dried fruits, modest roast, light cocoa strains. Taste comprises dried fruits, touch of chocolate malt, hint of red berry fruits, light roasted bite. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough easy going stout.

330ml can delivered from the brewery and drunk at home. Deep gold, clear with a ring of white head. Floral hop aroma, orange peel, some pine and gummy resin. Sweet taste, there's some lip-amacking hop bitterness in the finish but for the most part it's surprisingly sweet. It's much further down the pecking order than the best IPAs on either side of the pond, but it stands on its own pretty well and has been the best of the Brewpoint beers I've tried.

330ml can delivered from the brewery and drunk at home. Light yellow, a little bit hazy with some with head. Aroma is a bit muted: I'm getting plenty of sweet spice and doughtbread though. Taste is sweet with lashings of coiander, with some lemon peel coming in on the finish along with some hop bitterness. A witbier by numbers? Maybe a little but they carry this one off very well.

330ml can delivered from the brewery and drunk at home late at night. Mid- to dark brown, translucent with a quickly dissipating khaki head. Dark chocolate, some yeast extract, savoury gravy notes in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with chocolate and liquorice notes, leading to a more bitter finish. Soft to medium carbonation. It's a lovely little stout with a superb balance.

330ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery. Light gold, clear with a tint bit of white head. Smells of corn and TCP, like a cheap lager. Sweet taste, more corny notes, corn syrup, caramel. A touch of bitterness in the finish. Carbonation on the heavy side. You know that nice, crisp feel you get from a really good pilsner? Yeah, this doesn't have that. At all. It's better than the worst corner shop lagers, but it's not something I want to be paying premium price for.
