Full bodied with a clean, bitter taste, balanced with a sweet burnt, malty and fruity notes with a distinctive dry-hop aroma and flavour. Brewed with English Target hops, burnt Pale and Crystal malts.

Medium beige head. Clear amber body. Fruity toffee aroma with caramelly notes. Sweetish earthy raisins and caramel taste with spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish perfumy caramel and licorice aftertaste with spicy notes. Finish is kind of watery, but still a nice, delicate beer. (0.5l bottle, from Co-op, Whitby.)

Bottle from some place that sells beer. Poured a clear chesnut brown with a broken white frothy head. The aroma is malty with a little yeast in the background. The flavour is medium bitter, malty, slightly metallic and with a few roasted nuts floating around on the palate. I used to like this. I’ve moved on, the beer hasn’t.
