A traditional copper-coloured strong bitter with barley malt aroma, initial slight sweetness is followed by a gentle transition to a dry hoppy finish with just a hint of pear drops.

500ml bottle: BBE March 2025. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass at home on 17th November 2024. Looked good, a clean and clear amber body with a soft white crown. Malty molasses in the nose and taste, toffee and caramel sweetness to the fore, it does calm down towards the finish when it becomes a little drier and slightly bitter, my sweet tooth really took to this.

Third by cask on the 2nd day of GBBF Winter 2020, Sonnet Bar. Shared with Finn. Clear warm golden body, bubbles to the rim of the surface, spotty lacing. Oily hops and malty sweetness on the nose. Flavour character of caramel and dried fruits. Dry malt-fruity finish. Fine depth. Satisfying. (Birmingham 05.02.2020).

Cask at the Con Club Kinver; clear light copper pour with a creamy white head, aroma has a slight earthiness and some spice, taste has earthy root vegetation, something not quite right.
