Keg at Lyric, soho. It pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The nose is floral, orange, tangerine, flour, elderflower, dough and some sweet soft fruit. The taste is crisp, floral, citrussy, hay, straw, dough, touch of spice and decent bitterness with a very dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp and dry, but a bit watery. OK.

Bottle, Corks, Cotham. Hazy amber pour with a lingering medium white head. Pungent nose of, yeast, spice, piss, sweat and gooseberry. Fairly lively carobonation that verged on spritzy. Sweetish flavour, with more yeast and fruits. quite boozy. Dried out towards the finish. Characterful and likable beer.

Bottle, Corks, Cotham. Hazy dark amber pour with a small off-white head. Great tropical fruit in the nose and more in the flavour with some excellent mouth coating hop bitterness. Lengthy finish. Stonking stuff. A good one to notch up my 1700th rate.

330ml bottle from Jack’s Off License. Was a little intimidated to open this given the bottle description, the fact it’s 11% and also as it cost me an arm & a leg. Once opened, roasted coffee beans come through in the nose before a complex, exceedingly rich, evil tasting concoction of nutty malts and bitter dark chocolate take hold, with an espresso hit giving a fiery whisky like tang to the back of the throat. That said, this is a fairly smooth ride with myriad flavours leading you into a whirlpool of decadent darkness. Not for the faint hearted.
