Keg at MS HW, 24/11/19. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is sweet malts, blueberry compote, brown sugar melt, jammy berries, light cocoa sprinkle. Taste comprises blueberry cheesecake, sugars, chocolate, muted roast, faint coffee, blueberry jam. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok fun stout but pretty sweet ... paired this with a spicy pizza so worked well enough.

Half-pint, keg, at Castle Tap. Shared with Finn. Near-black in the glass, creamy, bubbly beige head that laced well. Malt-driven aromas with a good piney punch. Fine balanced taste of dark malts, grass, and pine needles. Mid-dry malt-fruity finish. Fine depth. Good drinking. (Reading 20.10.2019).

KeyKeg at the Bedford Beer Festival 2019. Light yellow with a creamy cloudiness and a loose white head. The aroma is crammed with elderflower. It's light yet intense and sumptuous. Tastes quite sweet, with the floral notes taking hold to the short drying finish. Nicely carbonated, but the body is too thin. Overall this is an incredible little concoction.
