Appearance - olive brown sheen with a beige, fluffy head.
Nose - boozy prune and wood.
Taste - more prunes (in Armagnac?) with brown sugar and wood again.
Palate - full bodied, sweet and rich middle but somehow not too sweet on the finish, possibly the wood drying it out nicely.
Overall - lovely gear!

Cans from Against The Grain and Lupe Pintos. Black body with a dense beige head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of treacle and ash. Flavour of chillies, roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. The chillies are really well judged in this - they add to the beer without taking over.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - solid milky yellow orange and a creamy, snow white head.
Nose - tinned peach, orange shred and apple. A hint of grassiness.
Taste - grassy up front, a hint of hop burn really, then general fruit salad notes.
Palate - light bodied, creamy but bitter grass finish.
Overall - decent. Will be better in a few weeks when the hop burn ebbs away a bit.
