20/3/2020. Bottle bought direct from the brewery. Pours dark amber bronze with a modest off-white head. Nice aroma of malt, biscuit, caramel, hops, a touch of bread and nutty chocolate. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Body is a little thin and watery but at 3.7% it's ok. Quite a drinkable sessionable bitter.
