Bottle at home ... Thanks to Fin (i think) for this one ... Wonderfully Ruby colour.... you really cant fault the apperence of this one ...fruity malt nose ... OH ! ... this is beyond anything i expected ... i was expecting ron of the mill ... but this is bursting with full on interesting flavours ... lots of berry fruits ... little sweetness ... little toffee malts ... All round a decent beer, and a real pleasent suprise for a beer that i chose mid night that i expected to be mediocre before finnishing on better beers.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell, Dark ruby tinted body with a tan head; slightly sour fruity aroma; creamy body with strong caramel malt flavours, slightly burnt, also some coffee; dry finish with some hops but more caramel.

Bottle, picked up at Majestic, Bicester, 20-05-07 in a mixed pack. Poured mid brown, with white bubbly head. Tasted quite fruity with nice malt base to it and definite nuttiness as described on the commercial blurb, aroma a little hoppy and malty. Not bad at all.
