Bottle from Cornelius. Deep ruby body with a medium beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma of toffee, tablet, treacle and coconut. Flavour of brown sugar, smoked malt, toffee and flat Vimto. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A sweet complex beer.

500ml bottle, 5.3% ABV: BBD Jan 15. Poured into a thistle shaped glass (Gordon Finest Gold) at home on 19 Dec 14. Dark ruby hue to the brown/chestnut body, the beige head soon fell away to a thin wisp and collar. Sweet, yet slightly smoky malts in the nose, mild chocolate notes within the aroma too. The taste is also smoky chocolate maltiness, add an alcoholic twist, a malt loaf doughy feel, dark, wine soaked raisins, dates and saltiness: tastes OK. Smooth, almost rich and creamy palate to the brew. A pleasant surprise and my treat after Grimsby Town won their football match this evening.

Bottle, 5.3 % abv, from Nina’s Mini Market. Black body with a brownish tint. Frothy, light brown head. Good amount of lacing. Mid-sweet, dark malty nose. Slightly smoked malty aroma, salty notes balanced by a chocolate touch. Dark fruity tartness towards the ending. A well balanced malt-accented brew (hotel room, Edinburgh 10.08.2013).
