Keg at Awakening Fest, Gosport. Tangy fruity slightly sour aroma with sweet core. Hazy pale pineapple yellow. Thin creamy white head soon recedes. Tangy citrus and stone fruit. Bitter edge. Thin. Watery. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Not particularly exciting.

Keg at Brewers Tap, Southsea. Rich espresso aroma with some maltiness. Dark. Cola tint. Opaque. Creamy beige head retreats quickly. Wow - full on coffee bitterness and accompanying sour berries. Finish gets quite vinous. Medium bodied. Creamy. Long astringent finish. Certainly a coffee stout. Can't complain about a lack of coffee. A big big beer. But it made think of trips to Finland... being used to weak British coffee I get stomach ache after a few days of the Finnish brew.
