Keg at The Wellington; dark brown pour with thin tan head, big coffee aroma, taste is sweet along with loads of coffee, quite thin mouthfeel, coffee definitely added post brew very instant and artificial but I enjoyed it all the same.

Cask at the Cask, Pimlico, 29/10/13. Dark mahogony brown with a thin beige head. Nose is roast malt, dark toffee, vanilla notes, cocoa. Taste is a little thinner than the nose, dark malt, earthy cocoa, cardboard notes, dark toffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. So so stout - pretty mediocre.

Gravity poured half-pint at the Kings Head, Norwich on 20 Apr 2013. Mine was 6.4% ABV according to the chalk board. Light amber body with a thinning white head. Hoppy with a dry finish: expected more to be honest, this was one of four high alcohol beers on gravity pour during the CAMRA AGM weekend in Norwich that this pub put on (along with a host of hand-pulls). I tried all four (and three hand-pulls), this was the least interesting of the stronger brews that day. Although hoppy it lacked oomph, or class: nothing wrong with it, just when against other beers of the same alcohol content it faded into the background somewhat.

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 03/04/13. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent sized off white head. Nose carries notes of grain, pale malt, orange, sugars, caramel. Taste comprises caramel malt, bread dough, light citrus notes, orange twang. Medium bodied with a little oomph, soft carbonation, dry finish with a trace of booze. A respectable enough ESB.

ChrisOs Marvellous Pre GBBF Mega Tasting. Very hazy amber beer, little white head. Light dry palate. Nice Belgian yeast - seltzer like minerals. Medium marmalade fruits - nice. Not bad at all.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours hazy orange with a fine, white cream head. Tangy citrus nose. Medium sweet flavor with tangy berries, wood, light funk, birch, dry lemon and other citrus. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Tangy finish with some woody dryness and tangerine. OK beer. Good effort for a UK brewery.
