Bag in box at mother Kellys vauxhall. It pours hazy bright golden - yellow with a few bubbles on the cap. The aroma is musty, funky, barnyard, damp hay, tangy, ripe fermenting apples, apple pie, stone fruits and a twist of citrus. The taste is initially it is deceptively smooth, then dries out, dry oak, tannic, leather, apple skin, puckering, crunchy apple, kaki fruit, nip for booze, white grape skin and earth with a bone dry, tannin finish. Medium body and limited carbonation. Punchy and commands attention. Tannic and dry. Interesting sup. Not their most drinkable and but very unique.

Keg at Mercato Mayfair. It pours clear amber - copper with a thick, foamy off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee, sappy, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, soapy citrus and floral accents. The taste is dry, snappy bite, bitter - sweet, toffee, caramel, brown bread, sappy, woody, toasty spice, ryvita, earth and light leather with a drying, woody finish. Average body and moderate foamy carbonation. Another very rounded and drinkable offering from here guys. Chuggable I dare say.

Cask at the Audley, Mayfair. It pours clear copper - brown with a thick, bubbly off - white head. The aroma is fairly mellow... brown bread, bitter - sweet, caramel, raisin loaf and leafy vibes. The taste is firmly dry initially, then mellows, bitter - sweet, woody, sappy, resin, leather, toasted nut, slightly grassy/leafy, touch of spice and mild tannin with a drying, toothy finish. Average body and moderate cask carbonation. Don't think it would stand out in a crowd, but it drinks fine.

Bottle from Good Spirits Glasgow. It pours slightly hazy golden - orange with a lasting fluffy white head. The aroma soft, mellow sweetness, freshly baked bread, biscuit, toasty grains, grain husks, some warming spice, clove, ginger, touch of honeysuckle melon and green banana. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, some minerality, toasty grains, bread, biscuit, cracker, cereal, spice, grassy, floral vibes, muted booze in the backdrop and bitter citrus peel with a drying, toasty spice finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Decent, but not as refined as the standard saison Dupont.
