Tom Checketts is drinking a Kilkenny by Guinness at Fountain Lane
A posh John smiths. Creamy and smooth but with some good biscuit and caramel malt flavours. Amber and opaque with a Guinness style head.

Tom Checketts is drinking a Piggy Pudding by Potbelly Brewery at Early Doors Daventry
Oaky in colour. Slightly cloudy (hopefully supposed to be). Very buttery biscuit malt and creamy smooth finish. Subtle and malty. Slightly generic. Pleasant winter beer all the same

Tom Checketts is drinking a Wheatfield Hopfenweisse by Bell's Brewery (Belfast) at The Deer's Head
Thick and wheaty but rather weak flavour. Some sharp sourness and gentle banana undertones. Tastes sessionable. Not true Weiss but pleasant all the same

Jet black. No head. Distinct but not harsh vanilla nose. Sweet chocolate, more subtle vanilla and candied sweet pallet. This is not a harsh, overpowering or thick stout. As a result , I like it.
