Side pull at Tewks, 3/21/26.
Rich and malty with a true barley character and an almost oakiness to it (though this is unoaked). Heathery, soft, but aromatic hops complement without dominating. Very delicate and interesting.
More of the dry, woody, oaky character in flavor. But it's amply malty. Almost a bitter herb quality, which must be an innovative malt thing as it's not that far off the bitter herb character that Trillium's Flavia Barley Lager had. Whatever the case, incredibly flavorful and balanced. Or it's coincidentally some hop I'm not aware of.

Tewks draught, 3/21/26.
Some chalky galaxy with light pine but a quick juiciness and lots of soft citrus and mango. Good balance and not actually that hugely malty for its size, though also not that hugely hoppy.
Soft and succulent with quick banana and melon before turning to white wine and lots and lots of guava. Earth, mineral, minimal Galaxy chalkiness/over drying. Tropical and juicy with big malts and good balance. Weird that the nose is so timid. No alcohol noted. For all the pine and chalk from these two beers, it's still very drinkable, but that's because of how well-malted it is.

Tewks draught, 3/21/26.
Lots of coffee with a hazelnut-vanilla sort of thing going on. Smells fairly sweet though not too much lactose, at least. The coffee is a bit dark for my tastes but smells good for what it is. Don't get any Oreo character, thankfully. No alcohol noted either.
Punchy acidity heavily up front with a lactic character and burnt coffee. Dark chocolate, prune, plum and a creamy, sweet, but thinner body due to lactose. Again, no sugary Oreo character but this is not at all how I enjoy my stouts. Sweet, roasty, lactose-forward and with a big, rather dark coffee character. So much fruit lingering, too.
