Bottle from Warwick Real Ale. Appearance - deep amber up reddish brown. Nose - toffee and molasses. Maybe some red fruit. Taste - honey, molasses. Palate - close to medium bodied. Rich and sweet middle and finish. Overall - interesting but would like a fresher finish.

500ml bottle from Leamington Wine Company. Shared with Finn. A pearl white head blanketing the glass. Close-to-clear dark orange body. Promising aromas of leafy hops and earthy malts. Fine blended taste of apricot and leafy hops backed by mid-sweet malts. Smooth on the swallow. Likable. (Hotel room, Birmingham 03.02.2020).
