On tap at Moor Beer Vaults, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings lit moderate roast, gentle cocoa, and some orange. Flavour is sturdy, with medium roast, oats, and a hint of cocoa. Nice maltiness to this without being very strong. Decent.

On tap at Beer Emporium, pours a clear light chestnut brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of toasted bready malt, smoked notes, and a hint of toasted nuts. Flavour has ashy smoke, bready malt, and some toasted nuts. Finishes quite bitter, with a smoky, bready finish. Pleasant enough but simply cannot compete with, say, a Bamberg rauchbier. Okay.

On tap at Beer Emporium, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very subtle, with soft bready and even softer English floral hops. Flavour is very smooth but largely tasteless, with bready malt, barely any hops, and really not much else to speak of. It's amazing that a whole culture of beers evolved with the goal of them tasting smooth yet without any flavour depth whatsoever, and many beer geeks dig it! I mean, this is better than macro swill and goes down fine, but it's just not interesting.

On tap at Beer Emporium, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter floral hops, English malt, and some straw. Flavour is bitter, with floral hops, English bready malt, and a hint of pine cone. Not the most refined, finishing harshly bitter on the floral hops. It's alright.

On tap at Beer Emporium, pours a fairly clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is smooth, with soft bready malt and very subtle floral hops. Flavour is likewise very soft, with bready malt, almost no hops, and grain. When it's not on cask, you can really confirm that there's almost nothing to these! Smooth and drinkable nonetheless.

Bottle shared by Jeff, thanks! Pours a near clear burnt orange with a gold hue and white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains and toffee with a bit of oak and booze underlying. Flavor has boozy sweet grains and toffee with a bit of bread and caramel underlying.

On tap at Euston Tap, pours a clear deep dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is fairly restrained, with bready malt, gentle resinous hops, and a touch of woodiness. Flavour is bizarre, with a woody resinous hop character, some stale vegetal notes, and harsh astringency on the finish. Not smooth at all, just harsh and vegetal. This doesn't seem quite right.

Canned (from MiniMani Vaasa). Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some mild nectary and mild herbal tones with mild wooden tones too. Flavour is nicely sweet floral tones with some freshly cut wood, grass and mild herbal and sweet malty tones too. Kind of Golden Ale like Best Bitter...
