Cask at Cambridge Blue. Very dark brown and quite flat, with just a slight ring of khaki head around the edge. Not so much smoke in the aroma as coffee, a bit of liquorice. Full sweet, sweet taste of port, alcohol, and yes a bit of woodsmoke, although the smoke factor is reasonably low. Thick oily palette. Very good although by TBM’s insanely high standards this goes down as only above average...

Cask at the 21st Egham Beer Festival. A pale straw pour with a thick white head; pleasant tropical fruit aroma; and a taste to match; then a dry grapefruit finish. Lots of character for such a low ABV.

Half, on cask at Craft Beer Co Covet Garden. Naked surface, minimal lacing, clear amber coloured body. Half-dry smell of citrus peels and brown malts. Leafy hops to the taste buds, undercurrent of malty sweetness. Medium bodied. Tasty and likable (London 11.07.2015).

Cask at Craft CG. It pours clear gold with a decent white head. The nose is fresh citrus, grapefruit, lemon, stinky pissy hops, dirty grass and bread. The taste is pretty bitter, bready malt, grapefruit rind, zesty lemon, soap , peppery and toasty grass with a dry, citric finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Quite punchy for a low-abv number. Decent.

Gravity cask at Townhouse Beer Festival 2015, Ely. Dark brown, translucent, a fair bit of lacing. Hay, green apples, pine and milk chocolate aroma. Bitter hoppy taste, growing ever more bitter to the uncompromisingly dry finish. A well-made beer, as is the case with almost all of TBM’s products.

Gravity cask at the Townhouse Beer Festival, Ely. Mid to dark gold, clear with a bit of head and considerable lacing. Resinous aroma with bubblegum and seawater. Taste is sweet at first, with piney bubblegum overtones. There’s a gorgeous little bitter kick at the end. Unusual, well-balanced and extremely moreish.

Gravity cask at the Townhouse Beer Festival, Ely. Amber/copper/honey brown, almost clear. Almost no head but a bit of lacing. Caramel malty aroma, with grassy, floral and resinous hints. Taste starts sweet with a sudden bitter kick. The finish has notes of sweet and sour, and the malt reasserts its presence in the aftertaste. Heavily flavoured, but the different aspects rub along together very nicely. An enjoyable experience.
