330ml bottle from M&S Edinburgh. Pours deep red brown with a short lived beige head. Aromas of butterscotch and Soreen. Dried fruit, toffee fudge. Taste is sweet, more dried fruit and lots of toffee. Slight metallic note on the finish. Not my bag, Jim.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from the M&S in the Whiteleys on Queensway. Pours clear, rich amber with a creamy beige head. Lots of toasted malt character in the nose, brown bread, caramel, butterscotch. Medium sweet flavor with dominant creamy caramel character, some ripe fruits, bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes sweet and super malty, with lots more caramel and butterscotch, brown bread, some berries. Minimal bitterness. A very tasty beer - if you enjoy malty sweetness.

33cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. An attractive reddish colour with a white head that rapidly vanishes; sweet malty aroma; caramel taste with a touch of grassy bitterness; and a rather odd finish with some vineagar. Something a bit different, but not very good.

Bottle from M&S New Oscott; clear mahogany red pour with a thin tan head, aroma has light fruit and wet card, taste has some fruit vinegar, caramel, I once went to a presentation by Freedom where they intentionally infected beers with off flavours as a learning exercise, I learned they learned and put at least 2 of them in this beer.
