Nov 17, 2023 (7/3/7/3/15=3.5): Poured from the tap @ Spinnakers. Clear light copper with small white head. Very malty forward, resinous hops, lacks depth, but okay. April 24, 2014 (7/3/7/3/15=3.5): Poured from 650mL bottle. Auburn brown with off-white head. Quite malty, hops are quite dry. Nice balance, not too hoppy, alcohol is hidden.

650mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with a small off-white head. Aroma is very sweet and malty, with candied sweetness, resinous hops and wood chips. Flavour thankfully isn't as sweet, with lots of English malts coming out in a dry way, with bready biscuity notes, resinous hops, and wood. Really well-balanced, dry and malty. Surprisingly great.
