2.2/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 2 Texture 2 Overall 1
On tap at Old Abbey, pours a hazy orange amber with a tiny white head. Aroma smells like cough syrup, with booze, caramel malt and dark fruit. Flavour is all cough syrup and medicinal notes - this is dreadful. Cloying sweetness and chemical notes. Horrible. How can they sell something so bad?

Draft - Sweet caramel, raisin and a long sweetness. Clear gold and copper with no head. Sweet, caramel and a touch of nail polish. Not great.
