Rich amber coloured beer with hints of caramel, malt and a complex fruity hop aroma developing a bitter finish and balancing the well-rounded 'malty mouthfeel.'

Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Pours a deep mahogany brown, small off-white head. Aroma of amber malts. Taste presents a fairly thin best bitter with an underlying sweetness and firm bitterness. Ok.

Bottle BBE in 13 months. Pours a light amber and reasonable sized white head. Caramel, biscuit and earthy hop aroma. Taste is the same with a yeastiness notable at times. Mouthfeel is very nice, quite smooth and a little creamy, although not to the extent of a Guinness, but seems to balance things nicely here. Moderate carbonation. Its a good bitter and very sessionable even if it lacks one or two flavour notes to take it to another level.

Cask at Slaters, Stafford Pours a golden orange with a small white head and good lacing. Nose is just a vague biscuity aroma. In the mouth it is creamy with hints of caramel. The finish is bitter with a few hops. Pretty d*mn bland.
