Bottle from Corks of Cotham. Dark, ruddy brown with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of coffee, with a hint of port warmth and leafy hops. Light mouth feel, with some dark berry fruits and toasty malts, before a rich, slightly bitter finish with more port evident.

500 ml bottle from the Golden Guinea, Bristol. Pours a hazy orange, and is flat, which I didn?t expect from a bottle-conditioned beer. Was to child from the fridge as well. Once it warmed up, aromas were citrus and light caramel malts. Orange coming through stronger as it went down. Good bitter finish. Oily mouthfeel, not bad, but needs more conditioning.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Deep gold in colour with a slight white head and trace of carbonation. Yeasty, with apricots and wheat grains, a perfumed aroma and hints of banana and toffee in the finish. Draws from more than one wheat beer style and interesting for it.

Bottle bought from Mr Crocker himself, at a rain soaked Christmas Market in Bristol on 22/12/2012. Medium to dark brown with a plentiful, frothy off-white head. Aroma of tart dark fruits, toasted malts and a touch brown sugar. Flavour had solid malts, more fruits, including a hint of citrus, and a decent, dryish finish. Unusual and very drinkable.
