Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours almost black with a small cream head and good lacing. Coffee and chocolate stand out in a strong aroma. It’s a tad watery in the mouth, but the flavours make up for that. Dark fruits and chocolate at first with bitter coffee grounds and cocoa nibs soon joining. Despite all that, it’s fairly sweet. Nice and drinkable, but unfortunately the individual flavours don’t combine to give a coherent tiramisu whole.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby. Pours a golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. There’s a vague aroma of tropical fruits and traditional hops. Hops are more to the fore in the mouth, but the overall effect is still sweetness and autumn fruits. Some traces of corn, grain and spices too. Finish is bitter, fruity and slightly dry. A very nice beer indeed, but a bit more of a traditional bitter than an IPA.
