30/11/2018. Cask at the Dove Winter Beer Festival, Ipswich. Pours bronze with minimal head. Aroma of sweet malt, butter, hops, biscuit, fruit and veg. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Oily texture, soft carbonation. Malty, buttery finish.

Soft creamy head tops a clear gold liquid. Soft caramel aroma with nothing else to mention. Flavour is tinny malt with a hint of donkey hair. Sharp weird funk aftertaste that does nothing for anyone. I need to finish this one quick as some guy thinks I'm ogling his fat girlfriend while she plays the lotto machine at this sleazy Isle of Man pub - like dude seriously, that land whale ain't worth fighting for. And for that matter, neither is this beer.

Strong cream head and brown body nearing black. Soft roasted barley aroma. Flavour is mellow barley and coffee hints with a smooth mouthfeel. Perfectly adequate stout but far from interesting.

On tap in Douglas, Isle of Man. Good meringuey foam and heavily carbonated yellow body. Smells of hay and sweet wheat, golden ale aromas before anything else. Flavour is smooth lemon, hints of grain, mellow bread. Medium finish of casual oiliness. Not a bad lager at all, has some interesting aspects that mayhaps come about when tasted fresh from the cask.

Interesting mess of creamy head and clear gold body. Very soft aroma of roasted bread. Flavour is tangy sweet caramel and bread with a slightly bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel casual sweetness. A nice mellow bitter even if it is missing a bit of excitement.

Bottle found in Douglas. Pours with low density foam and copper liquid leaning toward red. Very subtle aroma of grains and shoe polish. Flavour is bready with a caramel kick. Sweet mouthfeel with little oiliness. Not bad, kind of flavourful but far from great.

Good creaminess with brown body. Softn graham cracker aroma. Flavour is very soft cracker with a smooth finish. Watery in a creamy sense, if that makes sense. It's all too subtle, the beer is flavourless. Needs more of everything even for a purported "mild" beer.

Pours a clear orange gold colour with a small lasting creamy off white head. Aroma is light cereal malts, a little fruit and hops. A moderately sweet grainy malt flavour, some caramel and fruit. A moderate herbal hop bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.
