Bottle from Beers or Europe. Pours a dark reddish brown with small off-white head. Aroma of sweet rich malts, toffee, raisins, pear. Taste is the same, sweet and rich with some nice fruitiness. Slightly tinny which might come from being heavily filtered. Smooth medium body, slightly syrupy around the palate. Its better than I was expecting. Good bitter in the end.

Have drunk this in the past but not rated in before. Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright copper with a small white head. Malts and caramel in the nose. Sweet and juicy in the mouth with autumn fruit and hints of citrus on a caramel base. Later on some hoppiness comes through and there is a sweet finish. Surprisingly this is a pretty decent beer.
