The next beer might even be better. B.C."H." = British Cask "Head" - to be perceived as some disparate lonely looking bubbles, uncertain of their CO² content, and because of their scarcity, of undefinable colour. UFO's: Unspeakable Floating Obscenities MF: NO, that isn't it. That's mouthfeel, in civilized countries. I hereby solemny propose a law to be instated by all beergeeks, -amateurs, -lovers, -tasters, - enthusiasts that forthwith the use of the infernal spice, known as coriander, is forbidden for at least the five first years of brewing, and later only to be tolerated by explicit consent of minimum five different accredited beerorganisations. Infringements ought to be sanctioned by denouncement to the international beerpress and public drainpour of the offending brew.

Draught No head left, jet-black beer. Treacle, toffee nose, bit of rust, breadcrust. More of the same in the oral cavity. Noted that the sweetness is quite kept in check. Roast, coffee, black syrup, but not sugary. Alcoholburn, bit -thinning. Very oily to viscous. Not special, if quite OK.

Draught Small white rim over rosy pink 'beer'. Smells like Fanta, really, fizzy carbonation included. Sweetish cherry chewing gum diluted in Fanta. Sparkling, again all like soft drink. No! This isn't worth a place amidst beers.

Draught Small ring of cream bubbles over jet-black beer. Liquorice, black bread, dark malts with very light roast. Dark malts, dry brown bread, faint maltsugars, liquorice. Medium bodied, slick; soft carbonation. Not bad; "Porter", OK, but also a bit Schwarzbier, depending on the yeast.

Draught Pink head, fast going over deep red, opaque beer. Sour fruit, red berries, lactic acid and also black bread. Red fruit with again an extra, almost liqueurish flavour. Still light in drinking thanks to a nice sour flavour. Medium bodied, if very slick to oily; medium carbonation. I wish all pastry sours were this little pastry.

Draught Small lace, transparant, over deeper amber beer, still. Dry caramel nose, maybe mushrooms, almonds. Sweet, restsugars abundant, toasted malts & some caramel. Again some almonds. Medium bodied, bit sticky. Decent, but no more than a 13 to the dozen.

Draught Medium to good, lacey yellow head over fully hazy orange beer. Caramel, toasted malts, faint rainwater. Bitter cardamom (not black!), spicy. Bitter caramel underneath. Medium bodied @ least, soft carbonation, long lasting spicy flavour. I think one ought to have gone out of the way, and searched for black cardamom, instead of powder.

Draught Small cream-coloured head over virtually black beer. Sweetish roast, roasted nuts, bit of treacle. Sweet roast again, well balanced. Breadcrust, bit of molasses but certainly not overly sweet. Medium bodied at least. Good carbonation. Nowhere bad!

Draught Good, stable yellowish head over metallic darker golden beer. Yet another smelling of fresh malts, malt tub, granary. Wet dog, intense, followed by the grains and malts from the nose. Very well carbonated, light to medium bodied. Classic, and not bad.
