Bottle, Ogi’s. Thanks! Poured a brownish dark amber body with an off white head. Sweet strawberry jam-like malty nose. Not bad. Fresh strawberry jam in the malt-driven taste, very light hop. Not bad at all if you’re looking for a simple malt-driven ale.

500ml bottle - Deep brown body with weak white head, nice caramel nose, a bit sweet but pungent at the same time. A syrupy mix, bit apple a bit honey a bit citrus, bitter afterwards. Decent enough.

Bottle. Clear amber colour. Medium airy off-white head, quickly diminishing. Aroma of caramel, grassy hops, quite mild, watery. Taste is medium bitter, medium sweet. Very average, nothing worth higher attention.

Dark amber with a decent, off-white head. sweet, caramel and berry fruit aroma with a touch of leafy hop. Flavour had more bready malt sweetness, with a short, bitter finish. No Wadworths character evident, which suits me. Ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Rising Sun, S Glos, 24/12/08 as Old Timer. Deep amber in colour with a moderate, off-white head. Big aroma of caramel, red fruit and earthy hops. Flavour was sweet, with plenty of doughy malt, crystallised fruit and the distinctive Wadworth yeast giving, thankfully, no more than a hint of pear drops before a decent bitter finish. The alcohol was well hidden, meaning this was a very drinkable beer.
