Medium Still from On Point Cider Co. (Hereford, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 7

Bag in a box from the producer's own stand at the Witney Christmas Market. Rich deep gold in colour, this was a tad on the sweet side of medium with honeyed caramel up front. Lovely smooth mouthfeel. There was a hint of tannin, and a touch of funk and dryness. It lacks complexity, but it's satisfying and goes down a treat. Enjoyed it, yum.

Tomahawk from Sambrooks Brewery (London, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

6.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Red with a beige head. Toffee and brown bread. Quite a bit of pine with a smattering of red berries. Nice in small quantities, but I'm not the biggest fan of pine in beer and I wouldn't have wanted a full pint.

7.4/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 5 Overall 7.5

Can at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. It's black with a thick, lasting creamy head - if anything, it looks evrn better than regular Guinness. The taste though is definitely different to regular Guinness - in place of the usual dry coffee and smoke there was a semi-sweet combo of berries and cocoa that was rather tasty. The only downside is with the mouthfeel - somehow they've avoided the thin-ness that plagues most AF brews, but however they've done it has made the beer a little gloopy in the mouth. Fortunately that did not detract too much from my enjoyment of it. In fact, it's possibly the best AF beer I've had, and is equally as enjoyable as the regular Guinness (despite tasting very different to it). Nice one!

Roast Chestnut Ale from Windsor & Eton Brewery (Windsor, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

9 months ago

7.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Unsurprisingly it's a chestnut colour (!) with a thin beige head to cap it off. Roast chestnuts in the flavour too, although possibly milk chocolate is more dominant. There's also toffee and a hint of autumn berries. A slightly powdery mouthfeel was the only downside. It'll be on the sweet side for some but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Santa’s Ale from Vale Brewery (Brill, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿)

5.4/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Amber with a white head. Marmalade, rich tea biscuits and then a lot of twigs in the moderately bitter finish. As with most Vale beers, I found this slightly sub-par.
