Very malty, not bitter, more English strong ale than IPA. Caramel notes,fairly substantial body, smooth and slick. Abrupt, sweet finish.

Bottle. Clear amber with a white head that lasts OK. Gutsy earthy aroma of toffee, kumquats, some tropical fruit. Sweet with sticky breadcrusts, and toffee, fruit is there but gets a little smothered. Bitterness is quite strong but has to struggle through a bit. Some pepper at the end. Sweetness and lack of dry finish makes it fairly heavy going, but it’s OK if rather unfashionable.
