On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Neat head. Nose - pungent overripe melon, maybe jack fruit. Taste - guava and more overripe melon. A bit sweet in fact. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture. The finish could be cleaner. Overall - interesting but needs more bitterness. One of these murky non bitter ipa beers that we are now getting with a session strength this time.

Keg at Fierce Bar, Aberdeen. It pours opaque jet black with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet, oily, rich layers of smoke, smoked meat, treacle, burnt toast, honey roast ham and maple. The taste is slick, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, toasty, umami, big smoke, charred, liquorice, bonfire, peppery spice, touch of creaminess, chewy and cacao with a slick finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Rich and flavourful. Nice depth. Very nice.

Can from Strait and Narrow. Wow might be the best beer I’ve had this year. Cherry and chocolate and my favourite combination and they are balanced here to perfection. Smooth body rich and very drinkable.

Can shared with jeevan. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of vanilla, oats, citrus. Taste is surprisingly bitter, orange, passionfruit, vanilla on the finish. Smooth, well-bittered, which helped me enjoy a beer I assumed would be too sweet for me!
