Bottle. A gift from Totnes. The person not the place. Not sure I’ve added a Wold Top beer before. Anyway. Clear pale gold. Decent sticky white swede. Nose has nice hoppage here. And surprisingly unbuttery. Bit of peach and ripe nectarine. Some light piny notes. Taste has some light caramel sweetness and a good hit of bitterness. Drinks well and feels fresh. Light bitter finish. Way better than I was expecting.

Bottle from Hogs Back Brewery Shop. Down as Specialy Grain but is it just another fool's Gold? Certainly on appearance it is - clear gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Aroma has light citrus, malts and boiled veg. Flavourwise it's... bad. Bitter and tart sourness over veg soup and sweaty socks. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Awful Gold with gluten free grains.

330ml can. Pours a clear mahogany with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Mild aroma of roasted malt, caramel and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, nuts and coffee in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Just ok. Could use more body.

Deadication beer to actor Dennis Waterman, who played a watchman of sorts in the hit television show 'Minder', he died on this day in 2022. Black-brown it's a nice smooth textured crisp stout, albeit with a very ordinary taste and light aroma.
