Draft at Snallygaster 2024. Poured a kind of light cola color with a small, creamy head. Aroma was big sweet malts, some chocolate, light barley grain. Tasty stuff.

British pint at Shelter is a crystal clear caramel brown with a big cap of eggshell head. Caramel, brown sugar and treacle nose. Malt. Sweet tea. Flavor is sweet but also lots of tannins and tea and soggy bread. Off dry, tannic finish. Bang on for the style.

Creamy off white head stayed on an unclear pale amber coloured body. Medium bodied, smooth creamy soft & cloying. Fruity, berry, light citrus & malt tastes with a bitter lightly hopped. Nice enough.
