Old rating from 08-03-16 - 500ml bottle, one of a number of beers found in a local garden centre. It pours a dark brown colour which is fairly clear and has next to no head. Aromas of spice, red fruit & malt. Tastes has much of the same along with grains & caramel. It has a moderately sweet flavour leading to a fairly mild bitterness. Overall even though I was not expecting much, it was a bit of a disappointment.

1/10/2022. Bottle shared at the Torun GP beer share. From Notcutts Garden Centre, Woodbridge. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, cocoa, dried fruits, touch of nut and spice. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slightly creamy, average to soft carbonation. Good for this brewery.
