A dark amber beer with a full malty palate and a slightly burnt, bitter aftertaste. A small quantity of black malt is used to impart the suggestion of smoke.

Cask at the John Harvey Tavern, Lewes. Poured a mostly clear mahogany colour with a round bubbly off-white head. The aroma is big herbal light red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat rich, earthy, red berry fruit, raisin, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Half-pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024. Deep copper coloured body, low beige head, fair lacing. Inviting aromas with toasted malts with scent of caramel, lightly roasted. Fine balanced taste of caramel malts and dried fruits. Earthy malts to the ending, lightly roasted. Fine depth to it. Like it. (Manchester, 23.03.2024).

Cask-conditioned at the Express Tavern, Brentford 17/11/2016. Deep brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. brown sugar, berry fruits and toasted malt aroma. Flavour had more caramel sweetness, malt loaf, and red berries before a rich, slightly smoky finish. Good.

On cask at the Royal Oak. Smooth and fresh malty beginning. Hints of fruit, smooth and fresh. Spicy orange in the background, smooth and nice malty body. The aftertaste is round and fresh, malt, caramel and spices. Nice!

Cask@Charlies Bar, Copenhagen - brown pour with a reddish hue. Aroma and taste is strong malty, some slight toasty notes, medium sweet, caramel, treacle, some dark fruity notes, some herbal hoppy nuances into the sweet malty finish. Very nice. ---Sent via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at the White Horse. It pours clear deep brown with a small off-white head. The nose is fruit cake, oily, wood, varnish, honeycomb, toast and tangy marmalade. The taste is wood, earth, marmalade, varnish, toffee, raisin, sultana, honey, oily, fruit cake with a dry finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Very nice marmalade character going on. Pretty tasty.

Cask at The White Horse Old Ale Festival, London. Pours clear ruby with a light, white foam head. Lots of ripe fruits in the nose, apple, banana. Big sweet flavor, pretty malty, with ripe fruits, bread and light toffee. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with more toffee and ripe fruits, bread, more banana. Very pleasant stuff.
