Bottle, Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Poured a blackish brown with a very thin biege head. Some malt and sweetness in the aroma. Fairly soft mouthfeel. Was expecting something a bit creamier and hoping for a bit more in the flavour which whilst having some nice elements of chocolate and malt, doesn’t quite nudge this into the realms of being very good.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 08. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Looks in good nick. That’s alright. It’s a best bitter, decent berry fruit. It’s actually pretty good considering the 4 beers that went before. Mind you I did get bored with the English beers after this one and went onto the Germans.

Cask-conditioned at the Robin Hoods Retreat Bristol, 30/10/07. Clear amber coloured with a decent white head that left rings down the glass. Subdued aroma of biscuit malt with some earthy hops. The flavour began with some sweet malt before a spicy hop finish, that left a pronounced aftertaste. Not bad, but the alcohol was more prominent than the hops.

Bottle. Almost black with a moderate beige head. Sweet malty aroma with some roasted notes. Easy drinking, with milk chocolate and roasted coffee flavours before a creamy yet dry finish. Very enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Robin Hoods retreat, Bristol, 10/7/07. A special to mark the end of smoking in pubs. Amber coloured with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma was of hay and biscuit malt with the faintest whiff of smoke. In the mouth it started slightly sweet before the smokiness kicked in. This was a subtle flavour of smoked ham, like a subdued version of Spezial Rauchbier. A good English version of the style, but if BBF had been braver and adopted the style wholeheartedly, it could have been great.

Cask-conditioned at the Cottage, Bristol 23/5/07. Deep-ruddy brown with a foamy, tan head. Aroma of sweet malts and dark fruit with some accompanying roasted notes. Toffeeish flavour with some hops in the finish. This beer is an attempt to recreate the old Smiles Exhibition and comes pretty close in doing so. Very good.

Bottle. This was a dark ruby brown and poured with little head. The aroma was extremely malty with Christmas cake-like fruit and nuts. The flavour was rich toffee and dates with a dry finish. Very drinkable, as others have mentioned this offers a lot for a 4.6% ABV drink.
