440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Lightish pink aroma, a little bit of haze with a spotty white head. Tart raspberry with a nice note of vanilla in the aroma. Berry tartness in the taste as well but there is a scrumptious malt base. Really nicely balanced. Slightly more sour in the finish. Moderate to heavy carbonation. Very simple and very good.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from the Beers of America and drunk at home. Golden syrup colour, clear with an initially large but mostly dissipating off-white head. Butterscotch, white chocolate, vanilla in the aroma. Sweet taste, soft caramel, light notes of tangerine peel. The finish is incredibly bitter but it works for this beer. Medium body, very heavy carbonation. I am not usually a fan of white stouts but this is lush.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Beers of America and drunk at home. Light apple aroma, maybe the smell of linen (a quilt?) and vegetable scraps. Sweet taste with a bt of tartness that never gets going. A full apple flavour, but not one that excites overmuch. Slightly tangy finish, that's nice. Light body with a hint of carbonation. A strong cider that belies its strength. Okay.

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Brownish gold and clear with a quickly dissipating off-white head leaving a small ring. Light barnyards funk, earth tones. Caramel in the sweet taste, a touch of sour funk, harsh saccharine finish and aftertaste. Light to medium body, medium carbonation. Dull and weird, not very bretty, but also sort of refreshing.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Beers of America, Banbury. Drunk at home. Light yellow gold and a little hazy with a large white head. Lemon zest, white grapefruit, some powdered lime candy on the nose. Sweet, some willowy malt notes with strong lime, grapefruit and a little bit of elderflower. Bitterness in the finish. Body holds up well enough, soft to medium carbonation. Decent.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark reddish brown, opaque with a the most lovely little pinkish beige head. Malty aroma with plenty of cherry and a touch of smoke. Sweet taste with a subtle mix of cherry, tonka bean and a touch of smoke. Light bitterness in the finish. Weighty body with carbonation on the heavy side. Just incredibly incredible, and maybe one of my favourite of the Tonkokos I have tried.

Keg draught at Martin Bros Micropizzeria. Light cream/yellow colour, hazy with a thin layer of white head. Lots of gentle Citra aroma, some white grapefruit, lemon zest, a little pineapple, tied together with vanilla malt. Similar taste profile, sweet with soft citrus, more vanilla, fading to a short balanced finish. Light body with spritzy carbonation. I really dig this one.

Keg draught at Martin Bros Micropizzeria. Ripe mango orange colour, thick hazy with a small uneven white head. Getting a little mango, sticky apricot jam, easy peeler orange pulp. Sweet taste, not overpoweringly so, with a tart edge.more mango and apricot here, not getting so much of the marshmallow or vanilla but it is still lively. Light to medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. Wonderful.
