500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Some spiciness from the mace, especially on the finish. Odd beer, some dry malt, some dried fruits. Bit of a Lyons Ginger Cake likeness to it. Aroma of spice and dry malt/ginger. Relatively interesting. Fine. Nice ginger/spice/dry malt flavours.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys - "Beer of the Month" for October. Reddish amber with an off-white head.Sweet and slightly spicy aroma; lively in the mouth, dry with toffee flavours; dry and clean finish with some spice. Pleasant and unusual.

[i] Bottle from Sainsbury’s, Heyford Hill, Oxford [/i] Poured dark amber sticky looking brownish head. Aroma of sweet malts and toffee. tasted of toffee, yep that’s it toffee if you like Toffee you’ll be fine but I struggled to get much else, It’s a nice label as you#d expect from Wychwood and allegedley brewed with Pumpkin this and mace I could detect neither, just toffee.

Nice reddish brown ale which pours a light moka head which collapses quickly. Metallic tin aroma. The annoying metallic taste covers the malt, which barely makes it in post-taste. An unpleasant bitterness seaps through at the end.

Light reddish/orange brew with very little in the head retention department. The metallic taste is too present for my liking and there is no compelexity, nothing to distinguish itself from another bitter/ english pale ale. I won't be seeking this one in the near future...

Fiery amber colour. Toasty aroma with caramel, earthy Northdowns, and a slight metallic note...not bad. Lifeless palate undermines the whole effort - a vague compendium of exported English ale cliches: spent grains, caramel, slight earthiness and a hint of metal. Finishes dry, but blandly and quickly.
