Can. Mitchell’s Wines probably. Deep brown. Slim messy sticky pale beige head. Nose has cook’s chocolate. Raspberry ring biscuits. Those with the weird foam thing. Bit of vine fruit. Taste is pretty sweet first up with some dryness. Light bitterness. Drinks ok overall although it’s pretty thin. Light dry light bitter finish. It doesn’t not deliver.

Cask. Abbeydale Beerworks. Pale gold with a soft haze. Tight white foam. Bit of a Moonshine thing here, and I really don’t like Moonshine. Chalky and soapy. Dry and thin. Barely discernible hop character. Half pint seemed to last an age.

Almost black. Aroma is initial vinous then malt. Taste light berry and chocolate. Then some funky sour. The Madeira certainly shows at the finish.
