This chestnut-coloured beer has a strong malt character, with notes of caramel,
nuts, biscuit and toffee, balanced by mellow grassy hop notes.

Pint in the Letchworth Spoons. Now this is more like it. A deep and rich colour in the glass and the taste was fabulous. Rich and earthy malts with a really oaky backbone. Proper beer

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Mahogany-brown with a thin beige head. Toffee, brazil nuts and chocolate with a woody note. Raisins and blackberries come through. Sweetish but with a drying finish. Decent stuff, I enjoyed this.

Dark brown with a tinge of red, a frothy / creamy light tan head and a soft nutty brown sugar aroma. Light bodied, sweet toffee malt, dark fruits, floral hops offer some moderate bitterness, finishes very dry with a hint of nuttiness and a touch bitter.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A mahogany coloured pour with a cream coloured rim; toasted malt aroma; silky in the mouth with a rich toasted malt taste, but rather thin; then a dry earthy finish with a nutty aftertaste.
