500ml bottle. Nice clear chestnut colour, small off-white head, decent retention. Aroma of caramel, malts, straw, raisins; quite nice. Taste is raisons, sweet caramel malts, chocolate, a hint of light citrus at the end with moderate bitterness; good stuff. Light to moderate body which I feel could be a bit fuller or smooth to enhance the flavour. The carbonation is too zingy as well. Apart from the mouthfeel I did enjoy this one, the flavours more than make up for it.

Keg at Rowans in finsbury park, London. A humdrum ale that was one of the better options in a bad line up.
