Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color caffelatte e che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La parte liquida offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina e agrumi.

Bottle from local bottle shop. Aroma is malt, caramel, nuts, toffee, butterscotch, fruity notes, with a slight smokey touch. Flavour is above medium sweet with a fairly bitter finish. Body is light to medium. Not a bad Bitter, has some rich malty nutty flavours.

Old rating from 2010 - 500ml bottle, pours deep mahogany in colour with a off white head. Aromas & tastes of nuts, caramel, pepper, earth & toasted malt. Medium body. Dry finish

Аромат в основе солодовый, с легкой кислинкой. Пена отсутствует, цвет слегка коньячный, коричневый с темно красным оттенком. Вкус неожиданно в основе кофейный с намеком на кофе и карамель. Также пиво хорошо горчит. Послевкусие очень сухое с отчетливой горчинкой. В целом действительно необычная комбинация вкуса.

Bottle: Pretty good hazy amber coloured ale from Suffolk. With an toffee, fruity and spicy taste.

Pours a nice looking deep red to light brown, with a low to medium sized creamy, quite compact head that shows very good retention and a bit of lacing; looks pretty nice. Average intensity in the aroma: a quite decent malty depth with upfront nuttiness, light toffee, maybe a hint of caramel, some rye bread spiciness giving it a spark, nice fruity notes of figs and lighter cherries. Pretty interesting and overall well integrated. Taste notes follow the aroma, maybe with a bit less definition/brightness, average intensity: medium sweetness, slightly below medium bitterness, a bit of sweet edge in the mouth, a light earthy bitter edge in finish/aftertaste. Quite light bodied with slightly below medium, thin bubbled carbonation; drinks pretty easy, as you'd expect from a bitter ale. Very nice, slightly unordinary bitter.
