Bottle. Brownish black beer with a light head. The aroma is roasted with sweetness coming through, and the flavour is gently bitter with a rich and roasted overtone. Overall a nice premium English bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Clear deep amber beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and finely minerally crisp. Thin malts but there is a decent dark toffee streak. Pleasantly ripe fruits, some prune and raisin. Modest treacle. Light finish. Plenty to keep you amused.

500ml bottle (BBE Sep 2016) into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 4th Jan 2016. Lovely dark brown with a ruby hue in strong light, sadly no head would appear, even though I poured it robustly, just a wisp and collar. Red berries and malts rule the nose and taste, some spice/herb like flavours too. Fairly sweet yet with a semi-tart fruit pie finish. Different and interesting, a UK Christmas/Winter brew with a bit of character for a change.

50cl bottle from a local garden centre. A chestnut brown pour with a ring of cream head; earthy malt aroma; soft, nutty malt taste; and a chocolate malt finish with a touch of twiggy bitterness, that leaves a rather thin cocoa milky feel in the mouth.

Bottle from the Beers of Europe Christmas Crate. Brown pour with a swiftly vanishing white head. Blackcurrant and licorice toffee aroma. Bit of a cough medicine feel. Very light carbonation. Needs more body.
