The Gatehouse, Doncaster - Bagby Asphalt Jungle 4.5%, brewed by American brewer Jeff Bagby at Wadworth brewery, this is an Irish Stout. Jet black in colour, it's a smooth drink with cocoa, coffee and roasted malt flavours. Nice.

The Gatehouse, Doncaster - Titanic Atlantic Red 5.4%, a red ale where the caramel and toffee flavours emerge as you progress. Not without some hoppiness. Interesting.

The Rawson Spring, Hillsborough - Conwy Kodiak 5.0%, an American-style brown ale, brown in colour. Some malt but more rye, a hoppy and citrus finish. Not what I'd call a brown ale.

Sheffield Waterworks - Boxing Cat Contender 4.9%, brewed by Michael Jordan from Boxing Cat in China at Banks's Brewery. Pale yellow in colour, this pales ale's flavours emerge the more you progress. Pine, citrus and a hint of caramel are what I detected.

4 more required.

The Benjamin Huntsman, Sheffield - Adnams Topaz Gold 4.0%, a golden ale which pours clear golden. Some citrus fruit and an almost grassy hop taste. Not really my thing.
