Keg at Princess Alexandra, Northampton. A random find indeed, and a new region tick as well. Pours clear yellow gold with a white cap. Aroma & taste: malt, bread, dough, grains, clean, light grassy. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Nowt to it, but inoffensive.

Clear golden colour, moderate sized creamy snow-white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of hay, grass, bread crust, slight citric and herbal hoppy notes; taste is quite well balanced with some sourish lemony and slight spicy notes; not bad

Poured from 25cl bottle (bottled 1997; bb 09/2000 - courtesy of fiulijn, label says dark). Some nice molasses and raisin notes on the nose along with some burnt toffee, hint of honey. Taste is bit thin, a bit boozy, flavours are there, but more muted.

Bottle from Cheers Liquor Store, Todmorden. Dark hazy amber-brown with next to no head. Lots of alcohol, but plenty of chocolate too, with the latter developing with a sweetness in its aftertaste, and also going a long way to hiding how strong this brew really is. My vintage is from 2011 and have a later produced second brew in my cellar to enjoy again at some point.

1987 Vintage bottle thanks to Dan. Congrats on the 10K! It pours clear deep rub - red with minimal head. The aroma is rich, oily, tangy fruits, musty oxidised aspect (as expected for a bottle this age), marmite, dark fruits, cake and vinous notes. The taste is slick, oily, juicy fruits, jammy, tangy, plenty of dark fruits, fruit cake, compote, bit of booze, wood and vinous character with a drying and chewy finish. Medium - full body, limited carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Really pretty great actually, especially given the age!

Bottle split at the Osprey 10K tasting, CBC Islington, thanks to Danny Boyo 21/03/18. Rich murky mahogany brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is earthy, dusty fruits, soy sauce, ladies knickers on a warm day, toffee. Taste comprises fruit cake, sherry oak, toffee, vinous tones, dried fruits, light soy, modest oxidisation. Medium plus body, moderate carbonation, subdued boost at the curtain call. Fun to try and has aged gracefully.
