Tap at Kings Arms. It pours cloudy deep red-brown with a decent off-white head. The nose is soft, juicy, jammy, sweet red grape, vinous. The taste is smooth, juicy red grape, jammy berry, toasted brown bread, warming alcohol, wood, fig, light spice and over-ripe stone fruit with a smooth, fruity finish. Full body and decent carbonation. Rather jammy grape character. Good depth. Rather nice.

An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of odd berries, malt, alcohol, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Draft at Buxton Taphouse in Derbyshire. Really. In a brandy snifter, in the UK. I am not making this up. And while I may not be 100% sober, I am NOT hallucinating. Opaque deep brown color, bright beige head with good retention. Aroma of burnt cocoa, pepper. Taste is smooth rich cocoa powder and chocolate milk, very light pepper heat at the finish. Rich body. A welcome change after being golden aled to death.
