Draught Small rim over deep red-rimmed black beer. Shoepolish, treacle, waffle candi syrup. Dry, ashy, roast and treacle combined. Strange balance, but OK. Very chewy, oily, syrupy, alcoholheat; thick creamy MF. Sweet, but Menno is tweaking again. All the better.

Draught Red cognac-colour, no carbonation. Deep rich alcohol/fusels' nose with dried red fruit. Sweet, syrupy. Again dried fruit as figs, dates, raisins. Dessert wine. Very slick, syrupy, furious alcoholheat. A fiery one indeed, but slightly too sweet for my preference.

Tap at Billies. Clear light mahogany. Caramel, light oxidized malts, red apple, toffee, alcohol, dried fruits. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Boozy over medium bodied. Not my thing.
