Keg at Alfred Free House, Upper Hale, 16/03/17. Smokey but not overly so; reminds me of dry roasted peanuts. Hazy amber. Just off-white creamy head. Umami. Light bitter. Some sweetness in the mix. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. Good stuff. Well balanced. Not smoked out.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Floral aroma. Pale gold. Wasjing up liquid bubbles white head. Light to medium bitter, Sharp citrus. A hoppy finish. Some honey. Light bodied. Slick. Light carbonation. Long dry finish. A pleasant pint.

Cask-conditioned at Tewkesbury Winter Beer Festival 3/2/2017. Dark brown with tight, beige, head. Aroma of coffee beans and milk chocolate, with some toasted malts. flavour was on a similar vein, with a sweet edge and dry, coffee dominated, finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. Black with a thick brown head. Lovely coffee whiff. Sweetish coffee with roasty notes and a little creme caramel up front. Rich mouthfeel at first. But then... after about quarter of a pint it all seemed to die a little. The coffee faded a little, allowing a slightly sour roast malt to grow. It ended with me still feeling it was actually a reasonably decent stout, but just one that disappointed a little when judged against the high expectation arising from the aroma and first sip.

High Wycombe House Warming. Thanks to James. Almost clear amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Light and dry malts, trace of caramel. Good floralness into a little tangy orange peel. Light finish. Not very brown but okay.

Light tangy caramel, a little oxidised tasting. Mellow white smoke. Touch of citrus. Light semi dry finish. Respectable smoke.
