Bottle from Morrisons. Deep amber in colour, with a small, off-white, head. Hedgerow hops red berries and oranges, a touch of caramel, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear copper colour with a medium sized creamy white head. Aromas of caramel, fruit cake, toasty brown bread and a little spice. Taste has more of the same notes with a touch of roasted malts on the bittersweet finish. Nicely balanced. Medium to full body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Enjoying this nice beer.

Bottle at 6%. Pours amber with small head and a fading retention. Bready caramel malts with a mild hoppy spice aroma. Taste is like a chewy toffee malt bomb, quite sweet. Finish carries that sweetness to partly offset a decent bitterness and a very mild hoppy spice note at the end. Its decent stuff and a nice change from some of the hoppy session IPAs and NEIPAs recently consumed. It does lack something to elevate it to another level, maybe a dark fruity note or an increase in the level of that spiciness.

Bottle from Morrisons; clear burnished amber pour with a thin beige head, aroma has sweet toffee and dark fruits, taste is quite bitter with mellow toffee, big malts and some autumnal fruits.

Bottle from Morrison’s Lincoln. Deep amber colour with an off white head. Aroma malty and hints of caramel. Taste light sweet. Smooth body.
