Hazy amber with small white head. Aroma of raisins and malt. Decent hops malt balance, pleasant enough.

Bottle form Waitrose. Reddish amber with no head. Aroma of caramel, red fruit and grassy hops. Flavour of boiled sweets (presumably caused by the pasteurisation), toffee and an earthy edge, with a short bitter finish. Disappointing.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel and perhaps even the alcohol is showing. Fairly full body with lightly sweet notes of roasted malt and caramel. A slightly dry and hoppy finish. 210906
