Bottle, KØ15. Pours clear amber with small white head. Clear aroma of bread and malt, with some estery notes and touches of hops. Sweetish flavour of malt and honey, with notes of hops and barrel and touches of yeast. Sweetish aftertaste with barrellike hints. Soft carbonation. Not very impressive but drinkable.

Bottle at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a thin head. Viscous. Nose - toffee and/or honey. Will probably settle on caramel. Taste - luscious caramel though it’s out of the fridge so perhaps it would be over sweet if room temperature. Palate - medium to full bodied with a creamy rich texture and a fairly good finish considering. Overall - not bad at all.
