Bottle @ home. Nice copper colour with no head. Smells very much caramel, sweet and raisins. Tastes bitter, some caramel, malts.. Quite a ?simple? (in a nice and good way) beer. Quite dry, good carbo and slightly watery.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours amber with a foamy, white head. Rich malt aroma with caramel notes. Very sweet, with toffee, caramel, light toast and some mild, earthy bitterness. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Well balanced in the finish with more malts, bready, nutty and caramely, followed by some pleasant hops. Very good.

@ Old Green Tree, Bath. Amber colour with a loose head. The aroma is fruity with caramel accents. Caramelly taste, with slight toasty notes. A slightly juicy finish makes it a tasty pint.

Bottle at Cardinal. A finger-thick off-white to beige head sots on a clear copper body. Nice lacings. Dried fruits, some fresh fruits and pine cones, and toffee and bread in the aroma. The flavor is bready and toffeeish, sure on the malty side, but with a nice fruity touch and some dried fruits. Full-bodied and smooth, decent carbonation. Some bitterness in the finish. A pleasant and quaffable beer. (081130)
