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.

Cask at the King and Castle, TTZ, 20/08/16. Orange amber with a decent off white head. Nose is Soreen fruit loaf, brown bread, caramel, bitter orange, brown sugars, stewed prunes. Taste comprises fruit cake, dates, brown sugar, candied fruit peel, toffee, light spice. Medium bodied with bite, soft carbonation, light alcohol strokes in a semi drying close. Decent cask English Strong, last had this 10+ years ago and this revisit for a rate certainly exceeded my expectations.

Good zesty sweet fruity aroma, small off-white head. Nice malty, slightly toasty caramel, with some hoppy notes and nice bitter finish.
