A beautiful looking beer - dark brown in colour with deep garnet highlights and a crema-like foam. Gunmetal is clean and crisp from a long and slow ferment at 9 degrees with our house lager yeast. Aromas of herbal & earthy Noble hops jostle for position with the delicate aromas of lightly roasty, toasty and smooth biscuit malt. Deliciously on the palate - there is none of the burnt malt astringency normally associated with beers of this colour.

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Dark clear golden-brown with a diminishing head. Has some tasty dark malt, slightly sticky-sweet with a good mild roasted and toasted aroma and taste.

[33cl can from Sainsbury’s, Bracknell.] A glossy deep cola brown pour with a ring of beige head; breast aroma; a trace of licorice and aniseed in the mouth with a sweet body and a fruity bitterness; then a breast finish. Very drinkable.

Can from Sainsbury's. Clear brown body with a thin head that fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of tea and lightly roasted malt. Flavour of fig, wood and berries. Thin body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A nice roasted beer.

Very dark brown beer, really clear. Light malty aroma. Taste is malty too, a little hop, just a touch of sweetness. Quite a basic flavour but clean and tasty and nicely balanced.

Proper fizzy pour, looks like coke with a frothy beige head and has a mild roasted coffee aroma. Taste has a good mix of roasted malt offering coffee, dark fruit and perhaps some chocolate, with some hop bitterness going on
