Bottle. An amber coloured pour with a small off white head on top. Malty, fruity aroma. Tastes fruity, malty, caramel, slightly bitter. A decent bitter but I much prefer the cask version when on form.

(500ml Bottle) Pours clear amber with a medium off white head and lacing and medium in body. Aroma/taste is malty, caramel, medium hoppy orange and cherry notes with a bitter finish. Been drinking this for years both bottle/cask, always a great choice.

Bottle from Ambrosetti, Berlin, Germany. A very pleasant smell of fruits and toffee filled the room when opened. Reddish brown with tan head. Medium sweetness, full taste: malts and toffee. Lovely, aromatic ale. Would recommend!

500ml bottle. Pours a clear amber-brown colour, foamy with a fruity malt aroma. Immediate spicy malt taste with sweet toffee and orange notes, and good bitterness. Medium bodied, leaves a slight lingering back of the tongue bitterness. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Has a clear amber colour with a medium compact off-white head. The aroma is sweet with caramel, butter and dried fruit. More wood in the flavour and in addition leather, chocolate and dried fruit. Soft and smooth mouth feel. Bitterness = light+. A top british ale with a nice balance.
