Cask at Justice Mill. It pours clear chestnut brown with a thick, fluffy beige head. The aroma is sticky, bitter - sweet, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasty spice, toffee, fudge, brown bread, fruit cake and polished wood. The taste is smooth, slick, bitter - sweet, rich, chewy, toothy, raisin, sultana, toasty spice, woody, leather, warming booze, touch of tannin, toffee, caramel, fudge and cacao nibs with a drying, chewy finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Rich and hearty. A big step up from the standard abbot ale.

Can direct from Tempest. It pours slightly hazy yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, zingy, tangy, plenty of lime, lime sherbet, salted cracker, melon and definite margarita vibes. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, touch of minerality, light saltiness, puckering juicy lime, zingy, zesty, melon, biscuity malt and cracker with a dry finish. Light body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Lovely stuff. Bright and quenching. Summer crusher.

Can direct from Newbarns. It pours crystal clear yellow - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, toasty grains, wood, baked goods, biscuit, grassy, leafy, herbal, cereal and a touch of nuttiness. The taste is crispy, dry, bitter, snappy, dry wood character, pleasing woody bitterness, clean malt base, toasty grains, cereal, pie crust, nuttiness, crunchy biscuit, grassy, herbal, touch of green veg and verbena with a dry, green finale. Average body and pleasantly fluffy carbonation. Nice depth of flavour and unique character. I am (unlike some previous others) a big fan of this.
