Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s hints of rum and roasted malts in the aroma, but not overpowering. Sweetness is the main sensation in the mouth with plenty of dark fruit and peppery spices, plus suggestions of alcoholic strength. Not bad at all.

500ml bottle from Bernie's Real Ale Off Licence in Shirley: BBE March 2022. Drank at home on 20th August 2021. Clean golden amber body, off-white head that stayed a while. The nose held a caramel/malty molasses sort of aroma, the taste more of a blend of maltiness with a mini-bitterness from the hops. Enjoyed it.

500ml bottle; BBE Dec 2021. Bought from Bernie's Real Ale Store (Shirley, Brum). Drank at home on 1st May 2021. Mini haze to the golden/amber body, white topping. Citrus front to the nose and taste, grapefruit and lemons mostly. I really enjoyed it, one of the best IPA's I have had for a while.

500ml bottle from Bernie's Real Ale (Shirley, Brum); BBE Feb 2022. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio on 22nd Apr 2021. Rich golden body, clean and clear, on top a white head that went away fairly swiftly to just a wisp and collar. Malty base with a mild citrus like twist, enjoyed it.

Fourth beer of the day, Sunday 18th Apr 2021.

Deep golden amber body, white crust on top. Citrus front to this refreshing APA, really enjoyed it.

500ml bottle. Dark brown, slight ruby tinge, small off-white head, reasonable retention. Aroma is chocolate malts, light roast, semi-sweetness. Taste is sweet, roast malts, chocolate, red berries, bitter finish, very moreish. Moderate body and nice soft carbonation. There are no surprises here but it is a well made good solid tasty porter.

Bottle direct from the brewer. Pale gold with small white head and minimal retention. Aroma or biscuit malts, hoppy, a little spice. Taste is biscuit like malts, a little grass, a citrusy lime with a peppery note to the decent bitterness in the finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. This is a very tasty light sessionable beer. Not overly complex but has enough about it to keep me wanting more. Very good.
