A light chestnut coloured bitter, with soft toasted malt flavours enhanced by the addition of figs and black sultanas blended with spicy and caramel nosed hops.

50cl bottle from the brewery Thin off white head. Clear amber pour. Odd aftertaste. Ok but not something I would buy again.

10th Dec 2018; hand-pulled half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates, Shropshire. Golden pour, white head. Landlord agreed with me that there was no 'Figgy' and no 'Pudding', but it was a pleasant beer with a semi-sweet flavour. Obviously changed the recipe over the years because the other reviews do not match what I got.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 11/12/2015. Deep brown in colour, with some undertones of red. Sweet, berry fruits and caramel, cakey malts and a gentle finish. Fine.
