Historic rating, had this whilst staying in Charmouth, Dorset both bottled and cask at the local pub. Rated on cask experience. Poured a clear amber colour with a frothy, lasting, off-white head. Aroma of moderate malt, caramel, biscuit, and lighty roasted. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. One of the most enjoyable ales discovered during our week in the west country.

From cask/gravity at the cosy & tiny Newport Ale House, Isle of Wight 24 Jan 14. Dark golden. No foam. The aroma is peaches with some cowstable. The flavor is sweet fruit with some almond. OK - but a bit boring.
