This award-winning amber-coloured beer has a strong malt and fruit balance, evident in both the aroma and flavour, with a slight sweetness, leading to a dry finish.

Lovely Strong Bitter. Only half a pint as I had already had a gin and tonic and a pint of mild and was meeting friends for dinner.

Creamy off white head on a reddish brown coloured body. Minimal malt & berry aroma. Medium to full, smooth creamy & soft. Red berry, malt, spiced, raisin & toffee tastes with a bitter finish. Nice pint.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, 27 September 2022. Amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Aroma of tangerines and red berries, with some leafy hoppiness. Flavour was sweet, with strawberries and crystallised oranges, ripe malts, and some caramel, before a warming finish. Very drinkable for the ABV.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Aroma is malty with a hint of booze. Dark amber. Thin bubbly translucent white head. Light bitter. Jammy sour edge. And a big dose of sugariness. Malty core. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable if a tad lightweight.

Cask at Brunswick, Crewe (not listed on RateBeer). Been drinking this for years, but not rated before. Pours yellowy brown (slightly paler than “bitter brown”) with a small white head and good lacing. Nose is just a mix of malts – nothing else. Malts again in the mouth, along with caramel and hints of coffee and nuts. Finish is sweet and malty. Very drinkable for its strength. I like this a lot.

Handpull cask at Sir Robert Peel (JDW), Bury. Golden brown, clear with a large tight beige head. Metallic, sulphurous aroma with a bit of orchard fruit. Taste is surprisingly sweet considering the aroma, and surprisingly nice. Lovely notes of pear drop and banana ride the wave of a more astringent character which increases to the finish. Soft carbonation, medium to full body. Not really my cup of tea but certainly not bad.
