400ml can delivered from the Blue Boar and drunk at home. Dark indigo/brown, slightly translucent with a tan/khaki head. Figs, honey, some earthy notes n the aroma. Tastes sweet with the fig standing out. I get some blueberry but not much of the almond. A medicinal finish, betraying the thin body of the beer. Medium to heavy carbonation. I was excited about trying this but even if it didn't deliver quite as I'd hoped, it is still worth trying.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden brown, texture like sun... slightly off white head. Nose - peach and the orange jam you get in Jaffa Cakes. Slightly floral blossom too. Taste - canned peach, green apple and green grape. Light resin. Palate - light bodied. Good bitterness. Good linger. Overall - pretty good.

440ml can delivered from the Blue Boar, Leicester and drunk at home. Mid- to dark gold and clear with an off-white head and plenty of lacing. Orange peel, mango and barley sugar in the aroma. The first sip is fairly intensely bitter but it's sweetened out later in the sip with apple and candied orange. Light vegetal character in the finish, otherwise very easy-drinking (dangerous for the ABV) and delicious.

440ml can delivered from the Blue Boar and drunk at home. Mid-gold in colour, clear with a small uneven film of white head. Aroma is Apple and white grape, some TCP. Taste is sweet and refreshing with orchard fruit notes leading to a clean short finish. Light carbonation. Theres not so much to it but it is certainly a pleasant bear for the evening.

440ml can from Trembling Madness. Black with a foamy tan head. Roasted malt and Christmas spice aroma, flavour is much the same with plenty of bitter coffee although I'm not really getting the vanilla. Not bad but there are better Kitties

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Dec 20. Not sure who brought this. Last beer of the night anyway. Misty golden yellow appearance, small white head. Great rhubarb nose, and good all round rhubarb presence, pleasantly sweet with a soft woodiness and some salty moments. Very good.
