Bottle from Warwick Real Ale. Appearance - deep amber with a thin off-white head. Nose - orange and brown bread. Taste - orange, floral honey and brown bread again. Palate - close to medium bodied. Tangy middle. The finish is a bit of tangy and a bit of dry malty, but lacks any hop bitterness. Overall - quite liked this, all the same.

Bottle direct from the brewer. Pours an amber/brown, small white head, retention lasts until 2/3rds through; ok Aroma of lightly roasted malts, nuts, sweetness, chocolate; nice Taste is bread and sweet malts, nuts, some dark fruit; good Its a little light in body and low in carbonation; could be better Decent malty flavours to this bitter, so despite the body I found it enjoyable. This is the best I've tried from the brewer so far. Good story behind the name as well.

500ml bottle bought at Leamington Wine Company. Shared with Finn. Deep rosewood body, low beige head, scattered lacing. Dark fruity smell. Malt-fruity flavours, mix of caramel malts and dark fruits. Mid-sweet bitter ending. Satisfying bitter version. (Hotel room, Birmingham 04.02.2020).

500ml bottle; poured into an Abbot Ale @ home on 7th Dec 2012, the best before date being rubbed out: assume it’s ’out of date’. Nice looking Mahogany/Ruby Red body, clear, bright and clean: the head a swiftly disappearing off-white wisp. The nose was like a fruit and nut chocolate bar (UK Cadburys) just unwrapped and opened for the first time: the taste wasn’t far off that either, maltier maybe, but all ’Cadburys fruit and nut Cake’ for those old enough to remember the adverts! If the head hadn’t gone before it arrived and it had a little more hop bitterness I’d have dined out on Duck Soup until I lost a stone in weight. Good body depth and rich/flavoursome in my eyes. Really enjoyed this beer: would love to find it in Cask form.

Served from cask dispense at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, (Feb’12) into a UK half pint jug. Pours a clear mid amber colour with just a little white head that doesn’t hang around too long forming a small pond in the middle of the glass after a short while! Smells bready and malty, earthy, almost in a sasion farmyard way. Also slightly earthy tasting, nutty, bready, malt, a little butterey and a slightly metallic tang also present. Thinninsh to light bodied beer and finishes with a coppery/bitter aftertaste. An OK offering, but not one I’d be looking out for in the future.
