Cask @ The Pub, Todmorden. Dark brown with a frothy head. The chocolate and orange are mild, but distinct enough to do what it says on the tin.

The coffee comes through perfectly, as does the caramel. However the body is slightly thin and the carbonation is way too high. 2017 advent calendar.

Almost amber beer, very big pale cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, decent fine military carbonation. Mellow and sweet malts, caramel and toffee. Light floralness. Skewed skunk. Overripe citrus. Light floral finish. Quite messy and strange.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Mandarin-pink in colour with a small head. The cherry is best in its nose, but a little lost amongst its mildy-malty sourness.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden-blonde with a very thin head. The sweet, along with 'Snowies' is one of my two favourite as a kid, and I still have them today. Its nose is close, but its flavour is very stated, with a lingering aftertaste... just like the sweet!

Bottle - Old coffee with some ash. Jet brown with a small light brown head. Dark coffee and burnt notes. Not sure how they planned on getting this profile to taste like salted caramel.

Dark brown. Just a thin head. This has some stoutish elements, but this is somewhat thin. I don't get salt or caramel, not that I object to missing those things. I just would like a bigger, fuller base beer.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very harsh, with burnt coffee, earthy notes, harsh bitterness, and a touch of caramel. Flavour is similar, with burnt earthy coffee, light caramel and harsh bitterness. Rather harsh and bitter. It's okay.
