Draught Thick cream head over fully hazy reddish brown-amber beer. Sweet, ever so slightly sickly rosewater nose, some light-coloured malts, rosewater, even a bit cheesy. Bitterish-sweet, quite fruity flavour, malts making out the finish. Medium bodied, but quite slick. Bit middle-of-the-road, too much rosewater hops.

Draught Small white head, reasonably stable over cloudy orange beer. Herbal, spicy nose, some grains, hibiscus. Grainy flavour, again spicy, bit of banana ester. Medium bodied, flavours falling away a bit fast. Average. I like their slogan, however: 3 brothers, 1 brewery, 0 shortcuts

Golden, clear, no head, looked like a cider
Aroma of light fruits, soft sweet citrus, hint of peach
Taste of light pale malt, soft zest, destroyed by a strong plastic note, undrinkable
Palate - Flat as a pancake, thin body, fairly bitter, soft sweet. Finish dry, off linger
Overall - Thrown out, something went pear-shaped here

Jet black, big frothy deep tan head
Aroma of dark malts, soft mocha coffee, dab of dark toffee, mellow roast
Taste of dark fairly sweet malts, very mellow roast, mocha coffee, getting a dab of dark plain chocolate, good quality coffee, some rich malts in there, tasty
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, quite sweet, smooth texture. Finish as main flavour, rich dark malts, some dark cocoa
Overall - Decent porter - like it that the coffee roast is not overdone. Plenty of sweet dark malts offset the coffee roast, but certainly nothing like those awful chocolate box coffee creams
