Keg draught at the Way Station, Thrapston. Black, or very dark brown anyway,with almost no head. Aroma of sweet perfumed coconut, vanilla. Taste is more complex: it has the intense sweetness but it's drawn back by the competition of almost burnt malt. Toast, treacle. Small sips bring out the subtleties. Thick oily body with little carbonation. Not one of their best but still a very good stout.

Keg draught at the Way Station, Thrapston. Very light colour, almost straw. Clear with an small uneven white head and good lacing. Lemony aroma, notes of graining vanilla. Fresh taste with a yeasty character, sweet, more lemon. Light bitterness in the finish. Gentle body with medium carbonation. Not an overly exciting Helles but certainly competent.

Keg draught at the General, Rushden. Still got some of their Three Hills stock and Im taking advantage. Damn near black but actually very dark brown, a swirl of tan head. Aroma is strong salted caramel, pecan, hazelnut. Sweet, sweet taste with gooey caramel, praline, sugared nuts and treacle. A touch of bitterness at the end. Gooey body, thick with just enough carbonation. Light salted popcorn in the aftertaste. So, so sorry to have lost this brewery.
