Creamy beige head stayed on a chestnut coloured still body. Nutty aroma with malt & dark sugar. Medium bodied, smooth & soft on the palate with a cloying back. Sweet malt tastes to the fore with demerara, nut & caramel followed by a tangy berry finish. Deece

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle, best before July 2019. Clear, dark reddish brown with an off-white head. Sweetish, malty, a bit fruity aroma of caramel, nuts and a touch of dark fruits. Gently sweet, malty, a bit fruity taste of caramel, toasted nuts, some dark fruits and traces of chocolate, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay!

Pours a clear brown colour with a large foamy beige head. A roasted malty aroma, caramel and ripe fruit with a woody spicy hopiness. Moderately sweet and bitter, caramel fruity sweetness, and twiggy spice bitterness. Not bad.
