On tap at Swans, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt and toasted caramel in good balance. Flavour is quite dry, with lots of bready malt and some dry, bittering hops to balance. Very low residual sweetness. Decent stuff.

Smells of very soft coffee notes with malts of bread descent showing up later to join the party, mostly drunk, mostly just looking at their phones. Has a darker clear brown body and a vague off-white head that dissipates too fast. Flavour is sweet malts, vague hints of coffee. Mouthfeel is full enough and quite sweet. This is rather weak but at least it's an amber-y kind of amber ale.
