(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 7 Aug 2007) Chestnut brown colour with brief beige head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit and dusty hops. Malty, nutty taste with notes of dark fruit on a solid malt foundation, balanced dose of dusty hops in the finish. Hardly adventurous, but a good solid session bitter.

Cask conditioned at The Lord Rosebery, Scarborough. Served a little too warm. ABV is 3.8%. Brown colour, minimal head. Moderate aroma, some malt. Reasonably hoppy flavour, "dusty" dry bitter finish. Decent, but not very complex.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] A nut brown beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and nuts. The flavor is lovely roasted and very sweet - especially considering the low alcohol content. The finish is dry roasted - almost like burnt caramel.
