Bottle at home. A good pour with a rich mahogany colour. The taste was that of a rich brown ale and was perfectly pleasant.

Bottle from ASDA. Pours out brown and clear. Earthy aroma, peat, smoke. Taste is more of the dark malts. A bit dry and dirty.as

Bottle, gift from Dad- cheers! Brown with a thin white head. Brown sugar and nutty malt flavours are rather destroyed by a heavy dose of cardboard. Poor.

Bottle at home. Bought at Morrisons, Aldershot. Sweet malty aroma. Dark brown/chestnut. Blotchy off-white head. The thing that first srikes me about this is the wave of carbonation that rolls over the tongue. Otherwise the body is quite watery. Sweet, with a bitter finish. Nothing special. Too fizzy.
