jjsint Profile - Brewver

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester . Mid- to dark brown, alittle translucent with an uneven little khaki head. Lots of dark chocolate in the aroma with a little touch of chilli. The taste is sweet and spicy, overrun with chilli just the right amount of heat. It is lovely but dominates the profile completely. Medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. It's lacking complexity but a chilli head like me doesn't mind all that much. Worth a try for sure.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Yellow orange, hazy with a small film of white head. Aroma... mmmm this is different. Spicy, almost smoky, with grapefruit hop notes shining through. Taste is similar. Some smoke, an almost meaty character, sweet then fading with a light hoppy bitterness. Light body heavily carbonated. Very different to the average pale. Worth seeking out.

Draught keg at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Apricot orange/yellow, hazy with a small white head. Muted aroma, a little bit of melon and citrus (I suppose I'm smelling cactus fruit but it's not very aromatic). Sour taste, a little salty with lots of this fruit to the fore. Light papaya character near the finish. Medium body with soft to medium carbonation. A nicely sour gose.

Keg draught from Tønne, Leicester. Mahogany/Amber and vlear with a small ring of off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma, stone fruit and some black grape. Taste is also sweet, an odd sort of seawater note both otherwise nice for the style, with a light malty bitterness in the finish. Very light body, heavy carbonation. Decent enough but maybe not one to seek out.

A terrible pun. I can bearlee believe it (or should that be bearlieve it)... keg draught at Tønne, Leicester
Dark brown, ot very translucent with a small khaki/tan head. Aroma of caramel, char, treacle. A little bit of saccharin in the sweet taste. Light bittering hops nearer the finish which seem contraindicative of the burnt notes making it a little bit plastic. Light body, heavy carbonation. Reasonable.
