A full flavored Pale Ale, having a predominantly fruity palate with malt overtones, a subtle hop character gives this Pale Ale a delicate overall palate, making a very drinkable beer.

(Cask at Bree Louise, Euston, London, 25 Nov 2009) Dark amber colour with brief head. Malty nose with dark fruit, nuts and brown sugar. Malty, slightly nutty taste with notes of dried fruit, caramel and dusty hops in a bittersweet finish. More than medium body, solid malt sweetness. Very nice beer with a good balance between a solid malt foundation and a generous hop character.

Cask at the Alexandra Hotel, Derby. Bright gold in colour with a thin white head that laced the glass nicely; rich aroma of tropical fruits, with mango and apricot to the fore; similar flavour, but with more depth - raisins, sultanas, and even coconut, and a buttery mouth feel - the whole thing rendolent of liquidised Christmas cake with a liberal sousing of brandy; the finish was satisfying, dry and lightly bitter. Very pleasant.

Bottled (BB 01/2010). Clear amber-copper color, small white head. Caramelly-toffeish peanut butter aroma. Sweet caramelly, pale malty flavor with late alcoholic bitterness. Very simple dessert palate. Toffeish and warming. Nothing really outstanding, not bottle conditioned, but drinkable.

Bottled@Monks Cafe, Stockholm. A beer quite similar to XXXB, but more dry and more wooden notes. Also has some mild roasted notes lurking. Aftertaste is quite dry wood, but at same same time quite sweet.
