[33cl can from a mixed 4-pack from my local Co-op] A hazy straw coloured pour with a thin white head; musty malt aroma with a touch of citrus; taste to match, with the malt seeming quite stale; then a biscuity finish with an unpleasant metallic bitterness. Poor.

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

[33cl can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy golden amber pour with a thick cream head and moderate carbonation; fresh aroma of lemon and pine; sweet, flabby malt body with a fresh zesty lemony bitterness from start to finish. Really pleasant to drink but lacking in depth.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cheesecake Stout from The Garden Brewery

5.1/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 5.5 Texture 5 Overall 5

[33cl can from Beer52.] A dark cola brown coloured pour with a fast fading chocolate coloured head; syrupy aroma with some peanuts; thin in the mouth with a chocolate syrup taste; then perhaps a hint of cheesecake. Better than I was expecting, but still not particularly appealing.
