500ml Bottle from B&M bargains: BBD end of Nov 2014, poured into a beautiful ’Munchner Kindl’ (HB) Weizen glass at home on 22nd Aug 2014. Only a slight haze to my golden pour, a good full sized white head sat on top. Plenty of carbonation bubbles rising up through the almost clear body. Mild wheat aroma, with a sweetness that carries on into the taste. Thought it might be more Germanic in nature, hence the glass I used: it did not however have the vanilla or banana flavours I hoped for. This was just ’wheaty’ and sadly a little bland in the flavour stakes. Refreshing enough, but a bit boring.

500ml bottle. Opaque, black colour with small, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, tan head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, a salty touch of liquorice. Taste is roasty dark malty, hints of milk chocolate, a nuttily touch, some salty liquorice; smooth, soft, silky palate. Very nice.

Cask at Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Mid- to dark gold, clear with a tight white head. Golden syrup and biscuit aroma with a slight hint of tropical fruit. A malty bready savoury taste, followed by some hop bitterness. Very pleasant. Full mouthfeel for its ABV and style. Slight natural carbonation adds to the enjoyment. A well-crafted recipe which reminds me more of traditional British ale rather than hoppy US-led goldens.

500ml Bottle: BBD 10/2014, poured out on 17th 09/2014 at home. Black body, thin tan head. Semi-sweet malty nose, and taste with liquorice notes also in both the aroma and flavours. Although obviously malt based it does have a good hop bitterness within the mouth. A good, easy to drink Porter: cheap too, from B & M Bargains.

Tap @ Outback in Douglas. Smooth and fresh beginning. Not too deep in aroma, hints of hazelnuts, a bit bitter till the end. Smooth and easy to drink. The aftertaste is medium, fresh and malty-smooth, hints of nuts, hints of smooth ale. Easy to drink but not too deep. Probably a reason of the cool temperature.
