375ml bottle into shaker. Subdued nose of sweet malt. Crystal clear orange/bronze beer with two finger head of foam on top. Some patchy lacing. Light carbonation. Full-bodied with a smooth texture. Taste is smoky malt and toffee with a very English grassy hop finish. Nice beer, reminiscent of an ESB.

(Bottle) Pours clear amber brown with reasonable white head. Pleasant aroma of toast, toffee and hints of grass. Medium body with plenty of perhaps a little coarse and fizzy carbonation. Good tasting beer, starts of with gentle toffee and toasty notes, which then grow substantially to bold rich toffee malt. Then some satisfying bitterness develops, encouraging the next mouthful. Really rather good.

Bottle. Yep, this is _the other_ beer you might want to have with food. FFS. Clear amber with a white head that fades to a fat coat after a time. Aroma of toasted grain, caramel, orange peel, fresh pepper. Nice, if a little on the expected shy side - but the taste is a little bolder: toffee, toast, even a touch of chocolate, then firm bitterness with refined but quite punchy spices. I’d have this again -- despite the Moronic and insulting marketing.
