550ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small head. Aroma is vanilla, caramel malt and boiled sweets. Taste has some stewed fruit to start. Skunky caramel and toffee finish. Watery.

Red-brown colour. Thick head. Warming malt aroma. Soft texture, very smooth and easy to drink. Flavour could do with a touch more bitterness.

Bottle Sainsburys. Reddish brown colour, thin lasting beige head, sweetish toffee malt but some hop. A bit heavy in mouth, bit over carbonated, fairly undemanding finish
