Can via the online shop. Looks well. Misted ruby copper kind of colour. Lovely thick almost fully lacing, leggy beige foam. Nose has fruity toffee and caramel. A bit plummy. Some raisin. Taste is pretty sweet in a ripe fruit way, with some esters and a soft citrus bitterness. Smooth and lightly boozy with soft carbonation. Sweet and light bitter finish. Nice one. Sank it.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy amber body with a thick beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of honey, fig and caramel. Flavour of fig and brown bread. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is good but not quite good as I thought it might be.
