Bottle from a corner shop. Appearance - deep amber with a red hue. Decent head. Nose - burnt bread, a bit molasses. Taste - burnt again, some rye, Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy yetsslightly astringent finish. Overall - a bit gnarly but the challenge is somewhat rewarded.

Dark brown color with an off-white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of toasted malts, burnt sugar and fresh hops. Flavor is bittery with toasted hints, some orange peel notes are present as well. Bitterness in the final with a good presence on palate.

Keykeg at the Black Bulls Head at Open Woodgate, Derbyshire with dad, Pauline and Loz, Thursday 19th February 2015 Pours amber reddy brown colour good clarity but not too much of a head. Fruity and hoppy with a bitter and dryness throughout. A steady citrus vein and I rather like the dry edge to the beer. I was somewhat surprised to note that I hadn’t had this beer before, had three tonight. A7 A4 T8 P5 Ov14 3.8

Nice red amber color with a fine tan head. Ok lacing. Lovely aroma. Hoppy, toffee and mild raosted. Medium + body. Tad sweet and a fine balanced bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Toffee, bready, hoppy and fruity flavor. Lovely amber ale! Nice hop profile.

24th Jan 2015. On-tap at Cotteridge Wines during the Ratebeer bottle exchange day. Poured a clear amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma was malty with semi-sweet caramel, tropical fruits and mild citrus notes. The taste was also malty and semi-sweet, again with a fruity backbone. Decent.

On tap at Kick. It pours an unclear reddish brown body under a creamy finger thick beige head. The aroma is mostly on the hoppy side, with pine cones, resins and a faint sourish citrus touch. Roasted malts, chocolate and a hint of coffee too. The flavor is bitter, but sort of balances with the malts. Pine cones, resins, some citrus, roasted malts and coffee hints. Full body feeling warming in a way. Nice carbonation. Lasting hop driven finish. Nice indeed, in the borderline between Amber and Brown Ale. 150113
