Cask at Lollit Pit, opposite a lovely section of river through Norwich centre. Dark amber with a small bubbly head. Fair red ale with associated malts, mildly sweet. Deeper body than expected.

500ml beer conditioned bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a murky brown with small off-white head, thin retention. Aroma of toasted grains and toffee. Taste is very malty with toasted malts, caramel, raisins, yeast and floral hops, slightly burnt noted finish Quite a heavy sticky mouthfeel, low carbonation. There's something a bit homebrew about it but it packs some reasonable flavours.

Creamy light brown head stayed on a clear reddish brown still - looks marvellous! Pumpkin, spices & berry aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the front with clean back. Metallic, berry, spicy, pumpkin, vegetal & pine tastes with a peppery finish. Nice one.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - a nice red colour, fluffy head. Nose - dusty malt, just a hint of red fruits. Taste - more red fruits with again a dusty malt backdrop. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - best beer from this brewery to date.
