440ml can from Asda. Nice black pour but a brief tanned fizzy head. Aroma of chocolate biscuit and the salted caramel - quite rich and fairly sweet with a light Neapolitan creaminess. Taste follows the same path with a moderate but building bitterness in the finish to offset the sweetness. Medium to full bodied.

I can see that a lot of different malts were used but the adjuncts dominate any malt complexity except for a general flavour of richness. Good stuff but not next level for an imperial stout.

330ml can from Beer52. Clear dark gold with white head, spotted retention. Aroma of overripe citrus, grapefruit, melon, flora and malt. Taste is quite cereal noted with some herbs, citrus and melon. Semi-drying, medium bodied, some resinous bitterness. It's OK but a touch flabby.

330ml can from Asda. Semi hazed gold with two finger sized white head which recedes to a nice covering with plenty of lacing. Aroma of mango, papaya, lime, wheat and a mild grass and pine. Taste is juicy with tropical and citric noted hops, light sharpness, moderate but notable grass and woody bitterness. Light to mid-bodied and would be better if it had more body but it still packs a flavour punch and has a nice soft carbonation mouthfeel. Very good.

Tap at Tilt. Light misted gold with white head, good retention. Nice intensity to the aroma, quite fruity and earthy. Taste of strawberry, citrus, mango and pine with a decent bitter punch. Very good all round IPA.

Helles from Vetra

330ml can. Misted gold with well formed white top, decent retention. Aroma has sweet cereal and citric notes without being too sickly. Also hints of grass and spice. Taste sadly has a cardboard flavour element which is a shame as the hops come through well with a citric and spicy niggle, nay wiggle. Slickness to the near medium body. Its ok.

Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. I have limited notes on this one but I recall it wasn't that great. Dark gold with white head. Was malty with biscuit and some peppery notes. Mid-bitter finish. Semi-dry and near medium bodied. Just tasted quite basic.

Regeneration from Birrificio della Granda

330ml can from Beer52 at 6.5%. Pours black with well formed beige to tanned foam, . Aroma of almond, light roast, citrus, pine and hint of coffee. Taste has a more pronounced roast and coffee like malt with citrus pith and peel, medicinal bitterness and woodiness. Medium bodied, mild dryness, moderate carbonation whereas a softer version would have worked better. Overall though its good.

330ml can from Beer52. Clear gold with white top, decent retention. Aroma of grainy malt with dusty straw and hint of citrus peel. Taste has a moderate sweet bread with some fruit pastels, light grass and flora. Medium bodied, slick with just the right amount of carbonation. Refreshing, lovely mouthfeel, but flavour wise its middling.
