500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. Possibly filtered, but probably not pasteurised. ABV is 5.3%. As a cask ale it was voted "Champion Winter Beer of Britain 1998". Chestnut coloured beer, rich off-white to beige head. Very nice malty aroma with oaky and vinous notes, also caramel and dark fruits. Malty flavour with caramel, some raisiny and vinous notes, moderate hops. Moderate carbonation, soft mouthfeel. A pleasant beer to drink.

Cask-conditioned at the Punchbowl (JDW), York, March 2020. Medium brown in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Caramel, leafy hops, some red berry sweetness, slightly bready malts leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

From old tasting notes. Translucent reddish brown color topped by a thick creamy beige head. Intense sweet roasted malt flavor hints at caramel and currants. Sharp and malty. A real plum of a beer.
