Bottle, now labelled "Big Reg". Pours red amber, smallish light beige head. There’s visible carbonation in the glass, but I can’t really feel it - which is a shame. Smells of caramel and biscuity bread. Tastes just sweet initally and then there is some wood and a little roastiness. Finish is very sweet and faintly metallic. Not my sort of thing.

Great orange/amber colour, but almost no head whatsoever.Lots of toasty malt on the nose, almost roasted. Cocoa and cereal also present.Very thin flavour, with more incredibly short-lived sweet toasty malts, followed much later by a dull bitterness.Really watery. Not enough carbonation.Wasn’t very impressed, I’ve come to expect better from Holgate.
