Can from Eltham Wines. Milky orange pour with a creamy white head. Aromas of banana toffee, pineapple, passionfruit, vanilla. Taste is more or less the same with a touch of rum lurking in the background. Alcoholic smoothie action. Interesting 🤔.

[On tap at the Andover Tap, Andover.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a thin white head; and a grainy aroma; strong grainy taste; with a crisp and fresh finish. A rather good pilsner.

Bottle ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma is malty, woody, a berry edge. Murky dark brown. Thin bubbly head barely sticks to half the rim. May have been a poor pour due to one of the cats taking an interest. Medium bitter, with a sour edge. Woody, very tart berries. Underlying sweet malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Flat-soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. A flavoursome and certainly bitter Bitter.

440ml can Sophies Beer Store. Pours pitch black, nice dense beige head. Big strong sweet aroma, bourbon and chocolate suggestions. Had to check if this was barrel aged. Not sure if the peanut butter notes were a happy accident, or if that's what they were going for. It is flavoursome, confidently sweet, hearty with some cinder toffee notes. I sense this is courtesy of an adjunct but the cans giving nothing away. Pretty decent, if a little confusing as to what was intended here.
