Dem Bones Stoutheart
Gravity, 7th Hinckley BF, 11/09/14. A porter according to the programme notes, so...Lunar yellow haloed around mahogany. Nostrils of fart and halitosis with egg custard. Better taste; grilled aubergines, saline coffee, raw cabbage, coal. Thin body. Not great.

Cask at EBF 18, 07/08/14. Mahogany brown with moderate light tan spotting and edgework. Nose is toffee, earthy vibes, light hop, not a whole lot coming off this one! Taste comprises muted hops, spice, light berry fruit, faint roast. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Mediocre stuff, not unpleasant, just not a lot happening in this beer.

Cask - Toasted malts. Maroon with a decent brown head. Lightly toasted malts and a very light palate. Where are the hops? Light and easy drinking, but not an IPA.

Dem Bones Aussie Glory
Gravity, Nuneaton and Beduth BF, 21/06/14. Dusted blonde under a slim white halo. Slick and full with fruit salad and pineapple hop; parsley and coriander-like soft perfume. Nose of soft citrus, green herb, some fur and cheese. Balanced and good.

Dem Bones Two Princes Cherry Porter
Cask conditioned at The Salmon, Leicester. Black with cream head. There is a basic roasty bitterness, charcoal hints, liquorice along with a smooth, red cherry flavour. Decent.

Dem Bones Leicester's Own
Cask conditioned at Leicester Beer Festival ’14. Gold with white head. This was a little heavy on the caramel front, drying with quite a butterscotch character. Not really to my taste.

Dem Bones RiiiPA
Cask, The Salmon, Leicester. Amber gold with a firm off white foam. Aromas are woody and herbal with mixed spices and bready yeast. Earthy apple with low pine and lemon. Flavours are biscuit malts with stewed apple and a woody, dry palate. Herbal with bittersweet lemon and a peppery finish. Some hints of citrus rind with floral notes and an earthy, bitter finish. Brewed with English hops, a traditional style IPA. Pretty good.

Dem Bones Dark Deeds
Cask gravity, Hinckley BF, 13/09/13. Slick and headless dark ruby. Nose syrup, semi-dried black grape, Tia Maria and red wine splashes. Mellow watery roast with coffee and aniseed. Decent. Beer of The Festival, apparently.
