Dave Hilsdon is drinking a Black Shadow by Nethergate Brewery at The Rodboro Buildings
Luxuriously rich, smooth stout with delicious notes of coffee produced by the roasted malts, and well backed up by strong notes of dark chocolate. There's a touch of fruit here, and thankfully the sweetness and bitterness are evenly matched. Lovely stuff!

Dave Hilsdon is drinking an On Duty by Titanic Brewery at The Rodboro Buildings
Sessionable, hoppy pale with mild herbal, fruity notes and a subtle bitterness at the finish. It is fairly refreshing and quite smooth, but the flavours don't linger much after the initial pleasant sip. It's OK.

Dave Hilsdon is drinking a Blonde Melissa by Butcombe Brewing Co. at The Rodboro Buildings
Well-rounded blonde pale with an initial hoppiness leading to refreshing citrusy and malty, biscuity notes. Soft, creamy mouthfeel and a crispness that finishes off the beer really well.

Dave Hilsdon is drinking an Anniversary IPA by Castle Eden at The Rodboro Buildings
An excellent malt base backed by an array of fruity flavours, including blackberry, citrus, and tropical fruit. The impressive complexity and decent punch bring you back for more, and the bitterness and smooth texture tick even more boxes. Smashing!!

There are quaffable notes of citrus and biscuit in this sessionable amber ale with pleasant hints of caramel. The malt bill and hop profile are decent enough, but the thin texture lets it down somewhat. Still, it's very drinkable.
