Bottle split at Pedro leaving drinks, CBC Clerko, 24/04/15 thanks to Bropey. Rich chestnut brown with a decent beige cap that dissipates then retains. Nose is caramel, biscuit, light spice, dark fruit rinds, sweet tunes. Taste comprises brown bread, nutty tang, toffee, paper, sweet trace. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the close. So so.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell during the Peter’s leaving do. Big thanks to Paul for this one. Pours unclear amber-brown with a creamy off-white head. Rich malt aroma, some figs, dates, toffee. Medium sweet flavor with lots of brown bread, toffee, leathery berries, mellow cocoa, earthy hops. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Toasty, bready malt finish, more dried fruits, toffee, berries. Quite nicely balanced overall. Tasty.

Bottle shared at Craft Clerko. It pours deep mahogany brown with a small beige head. The nose is brown bread, toasty, light caramel, wood, earth and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, malt-driven, toasty, caramel, fruit cake, light spice and with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Simple malty beer. Not bad.

Lightly hazy deep red - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and smooth with modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mild caramel and toffee and a little cream. Mild ripe fruits underneath. Light finish. Smooth inoffensive malty beer.

Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Very deep amber-red in colour with a thin head. Strong with a winter fruit base, although the malts combine to give it a ’scotch’ sweetness.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - there’s a thin slightly off white head that is attractive. But the main deal is the colour of the beer underneath. Beautiful chestnut, red, orange and elements of black too. So it definitely looks the business. Nose - light caramel, gentle digestive, a hint of red fruit. Taste -caramel and red fruits intermingled. Some molasses on the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - I’d like more nuttiness, Bob! But it is good.
