Bottle bought at the Belvoir Alehouse, drunk at home. Light reddish brown, thin and translucent. A small beige head on top. Light toffee and redcurrant aroma. Malty, malty, malty and oh so sweet taste, with a light hoppy bitterness. Toffee chews in the aftertaste. Simple and refreshing. A decent bitter.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Almost clear deep reddish brown beer, small pale tan head. Light and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Fair dose of chocolate here, tangy chocolate, cocoa, chocolate drinking powder. Whisper of chocolate fudge. Very mild tangy fruits. Light finish. Good fun.

Cask at GBBF. It pours darkest brown with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet, powdery milk chocolate, very sweet, chocolate cake and some milkiness. The taste is sweet chocolate, fake, dry, slick, cheap Euro choc, chocolate cake, earthy, toasty grain and caramel. Medium body and fine carbonation. Very one dimensional, but OK.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Light chestnut brown with a touch of red. Translucent with almost no head but a fair bit of lacing. Nutty aroma with fresh honey and biscuity malt. The taste of toffee sweetness is overlain with a woody astringency. Slight body but there's some soft natural carbonation. Not any surprises here but it's a very convincing best bitter.

Bottle bought from the Belvoir Alehouse, Old Dalby. Drunk at home. Hmmmm. Not sure that Stilton is a flavour I want in my beer, but we will see. Light tawny brown, clear and looking quite thin. An uneven white head floats aimlessly on top. Aroma isn't unpleasant but it's odd: cheese (not Stilton but maybe something milder), hazelnuts, TCP. Not very beer-like. It actually tastes quite good. The bittersweet beginning changes to a sharper hoppy bitterness which lets up only slightly. More cheese is detectable in the aftertaste. Soft carbonation, creamy body. 500 ml is a bit hard going but it's surprisingly drinkable.

Handpull cask at the Belvoir Alehouse, Old Dalby. Light brown, clear with a creamy head. Aroma of caramel, light sweet spice, raisin, Earth in the aroma. Sweet taste with enough bittering hop for balance in the finish. Plum and cinnamon in the aftertaste. Tasty stuff.
