31/8/2025. Can shared by Colin, cheers. Decent pour. Aroma is chocolatey, malted, dark fruits, berries, light smoky ashy edge. Moderately sweet with roasted bitterness and a slight tart edge. Moderate body, a little watery, average carbonation. Likeable.

Can bought at the brewery. A lively one. Mopping up delayed the rating. A stygian void. Thick frothy foamy beige head. Aroma has initial cream and malts followed by coffee and gravy, with a smoky edge. Berry streak. Flavourwise it has sour-bitter cold brew coffee with a berry edge. There ate hints of creaminess. A pinch of liqourice. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation has some legs. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice. Perhaps not a true classic.but hits the spot.

Can bought at the brewery. A Winter Warmer is not necessarily befitting a warmer summer evening. But it is cold and wet. Opaque dark chestnut brown. Foamy off-white head soon retreats. Aroma is sweet and malty.... big stylee. Sour edge. Berries. Underlying dark fruits. Flavourwise it's sour. Tart berries. Peripheral fruity sweetness. Underlying malts. However it's the sour tang that rides the flavour wave to cruise into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Lazy soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent, punchy, but not gett8ng a warming feeling, other than the existing fan man in humid weather sweats.

Can bought at the brewery. Hazy dark gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma is fruity with a resinous edge. Underlying bready malts and later a pop of spice. The brewer did mention that this has West Coast elements, not hinted at by the details on the can, and the resin and fruit bitterness are stronger than the aroma perhaps suggested. Still there is also a juicy tropical core. Some malty hints but this time less prevalent than the aroma suggested. Light-medium bodied. Slick..Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent. Certainly more hoppy and resinous than some of of their Surrey peers can manage.

Can bought at the brewery. Aroma is malty. Caramel. Peripheral berries. Hazy-opaque amber. Creamy white head. Berries. Sour berries are my initial impression. Tangy. Underlying malts are present if not prominent. Light-medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft carbonation also has a lazy meandering fizz (suitable for the brewery's riverside location). Long relatively astringent finish. Enjoyable Best.
