Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid-brown, translucent and thin-looking. Very little head. Smell dominated by coconut with a little bit of chocolate and some yeast extract. Taste is sweet/sour with a hoppy bitterness that aggravates rather than redressing any balance issues and a souring finish. Lots of coconut water, not much of anything else. A little bit of a struggle for me.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Dark dank golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of peach sorbet, light pineapple, tangerine peel. Big dank taste, bitter hops eclipsing everything else. Long bitter finish. Thick body with low carbonation. Quite something.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Very nearly black, slightly translucent with a small khaki head. Slightly burned espresso aroma. Taste is sweetish coffee with an intense hoppy bitter finish. Way too strong coffee in the aftertaste. This is a coffee stout from grownups. Starts better than it ends.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid-gold and fairly hazy with a small white head. Pink grapefruit aroma, some lemon, wet grass and a little pineapple. Initial taste is sweet and surprisingly malt-led with a citrus hoppy bitter with notes of More grapefruit, freshly squeezed oranges and maybe a fleeting suggestion of mint. Hoppy bitterness in the slightly Sabroesque finish. Light body, carbonation on the active side. Pretty simple but does what it does well.

Keg draught at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid-gold and a little hazy with a small layer of white head and some good lacing. Interesting aroma. It's really nice but hard to pin down. Some berry notes, herbal suggestions, a little bit of bubblegum. Balanced taste with a little bit of sweetness hit by a lightly astringent bitterness. Drying finish. Medium body, heavy carbonation. Not the sort of thing I usually lime but this has a lot going on.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky orange with no head whatsoever. The aroma is fruity with tangerines to the fore and traces of floral hops. In the mouth itโs mainly sweet and tangy but with a little bitterness included. Plenty of floral hops and citrus, with oranges noticeable. Hints too of nuts and tropical fruit plus spices in the finish. Itโs OK, but basically itโs alcoholic orange squash.

On tap at Ebenezers. Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. Thereโs roast malts and some hints of chocolate in the aroma. Chocolate more to the fore in the mouth where it is slightly sweet. Cola and liquorice are also there from the start, and later on roasted malts and traces of coffee and dark fruits come through as well. More fruitiness in the finish. This is pretty good - I will certainly be looking out for other Silent beers.
