Cask at The Miller, London Bridge. Nice cola look and aroma to it. Quite sharp bitterness to it. Smokey with some coffee notes. Nicely made black IPA. (30/10/25).

Keg at the Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London. Surprisingly, this did not really excite me in any direction. Decent gentle hoppy ale all the same.

Cask at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London. Middling kind of cask ale with strong piney vibes to it. Spilt a bit up the stairs so everything was savoured more.

Can from Vinmonopolet, дякую Анна. Was little to comment on here. A well made Belgian that didn't hit too much I may direction.

Bottle at Gurkha restaurant, Barnstaple. A relatively clean and well rounded lager. Goes well to tame spice of these lovely momos.
