Deep amber color, small off-white head, lace. Typical Shep Neame toffeish, mentholy nose with light notes of citrus. Medium-bodied, good for this ABV, Lots of crystal malts, toffee sweetness with light piney hops. Sweetish version of typical SN house flavours. Well-brewed.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2017. Deep amber in colour, with a small, off-white, head. Ripe red berry fruits, sweet malts and some raisin character, before a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Bottle from Tesco and drunk at home. Clear red brown almost cola coloured. Lasting off white head.. Sweetish malty aroma, some strawberry jam aroma. A little thin in the mouth, as it seems a little pasteurised. Some hop on the finish. It reminds me a lot of Late Red. Yep fine.
