50cl bottle. Clear amber pour. Decent white head. Trying to figure out what the beer style is and failing. Not bitter. Stronger than an average English beer. Quite drinkable.

500ml bottle from Asda. Pours amber, light haze, thin white head. Aromas of marzipan, toffee, faint estery notes. Taste is sweet, with a mineral chalkiness. Marmalade. Sweet finish. Stronger, it would make a nice barley wine.

Keg at the Old Bull, Henley, 18/04/15. Black with a decent tan head that retains well. Nose is light roast, brown sugar, cocoa powder, faint charr, hint of dark fruit. Taste comprises rich chocolate tones, roast malt, molasses, raisens, toffee fudge. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light roast. Decent wholesome stout with a good chocolate profile.

Clear amber beer with a thin head. Light, sour aroma. Flavour has a touch of sour fruit, a touch of bitter hop and a dash of caramel but not a heck of a lot else. Pretty tame, all things considered.

Brown and clear with thin, lacy head. Sweet aroma with dried fruits, especially raisins. Flavour is also sweet with some banana esters and caramel. Interesting but too sweet.
