Keg at Beaconsfield Taps - thanks Colin (I think) for sharing. Brown-black with a beige head. Fruity berries - blackcurrant maybe - up front, along with dark chocolate. Turns pleasantly smoky. Unfortunately it's a little thin and sour. Still quite enjoyable though.

Keg at Beaconsfield Taps - thanks Mark (I think) for sharing. Opaque, murky-looking yellow with an off-white head. Cheesey. Melted cheddar to the fore. There's some soft tropical fruit in the thick, creamy mouthfeel. Mainly I got yeasty cheese though, kind of a a Frenchman's foot infection vibe. Not entirely horrible but weird, slightly disturbing and certainly disappointing for a Phantom brew.

Keg at Beaconsfield Taps. New brewery for me. Hazy yellow with a large white head. Ooh, this is nice. Lovely fruitiness here - peach, mango and orange. The bitterness is well balanced against the sweet, juicy fruits. Good body too. Tasty stuff, enjoyed this.

Keg at Beaconsfield Taps. Lightly hazed pale gold with a white head. Crisp, clean, grassy. Simple but oh so refreshing and drinkable. Good first beer of the evening.

Cask at the White Swan (JDW), London before going to see Dea Matrona at the Garage in Highbury. Dark brown with a creamy head. Chocolate cherries up front. Really quite chocolately actually. Lots of Ribena and cranberry juice. Really quite fruity actually! But then soot and burnt, bitter malt - really quite sooty actually - which does clash a bit with all the sweet chocolatey fruitiness. It's certainly full-flavoured and interesting, and I did quite enjoy it - but they definitely need a chimney sweep in to deal with some of that soot. Dea Matrona were excellent by the way.

Cask at the Crosse Keys (JDW), London. Crystal clear golden-amber with a lasting white head. Woody cinnamon to the fore, balancing the sweetish biscuitty malts and light caramel. Quite liked this. My 20th Cheshire brew, leaving just 5 English counties below the 20 mark.

Cask at the Crosse Keys (JDW), London. Murky amber with an off-white head. Citrus dominates here - sharp lemon, with marmalade following and a little brown bread in the background. Middling bitterness to finish. It's just about ok; it grew on me and went surprisingly and unexpectedly well with my hunters chicken.
