Bottle ordered from the brewery. Aroma is malty, nutty, gluey. Clear brown. Thick frothy foamy off-white head. Light bitter. Tangy berry edge. Underlying sweet gluey undertow. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Not keen on this. Way too sweet

Clear chestnut brown with a foamy off-white head and a fruit malt aroma. Medium bodied, with a slightly grainy mouthfeel, it's malty and fruity, without being rich in taste, and has a touch of dry bitterness in the finish

Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford Pours a dark amber with a small cream head and good lacing. Nose is malty but with a hint of oranges. In the mouth it manages to be both sweet and spicy, With caramel and raisins for the former and pepper for the lattewr, Finish begins as sweet but then fades to bitter with a hint of chillis. Excellent – this is what a strong bitter should taste like !
