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.
