Bottle form Peckhams, Glasgow. Chestnut coloured with a frothy, off-white head. Sweet, fruity aroma. Flavour had some caramel, nuts, dark fruit and an earthy, dry finish. Good.

Bottle (RBESG 2008): Chestnut-reddish coloured, small persistent head; dark-malt and liquorice in the nose; light bitter-sourish flavour, quite light bodied; short bitter-malty finish. Not convincing...........

Bottle, RBESG08 grand tasting Brown body with an off white head. Light malty nose. Light malty taste with some light bitterness and not much else. Not impressive at all but ok I guess.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Weak hoppy and sweetly malty aroma. Clear brown colour. The flavour is malty and grainy like all other British ales.
