Amber coloured ale that is increasingly endearing as it has an excellent body to it.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a clear, orange-brown with a foamy-filmy head. Aroma holds rich, burnt sugar and toffee, toast and frosting. Flavor is fairly toasty and even roasty, lots of toffee and multi-grain bread, more toffee, with hints of herbal bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, plenty of toasty and burnt sugar, bit of dry, sticky hops. Very good beer.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/03/2011. amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish, cereal malt and apricot aroma. Flavour had some chewy, grainy malts, more fruit and a dry cereal laden finish. Good stuff.

Cask @ Counting House, JDW. Amber colour, off-white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, bit of caramel. Flavour is malty, fruity, and indeed, hint of rye. Tastes like a proper, healthy breakfast. Medium bodied and very good drinkable.

Cask at Willow Walk Spoons Victoria. Clear amber colour lasting off white head. Tasty malty bitter with some decent hop on the finish. Some biscuit. Decent. Very nice malts full and some nut flavour
