500ml bottle. Pours a chestnut brown colour, frothy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla. Taste is sweet & malty with dark fruits, raisins, toffee, roasted & nutty notes. Creamy mouth feel, medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, some residual sweetness, dry finish. OK.

Cask at Shakespeares, Sheffield. Reddish brown clear pour with a bubbly broken head. An amazingly rich fruity aroma with raisin notes. Quite a sweet ale with medium bitterness and very little on the palate. Its 6% but the alcohol isnt overpowering. This is one for a winter fireside. A heart warming ale!

Gravity dispense at the twelfth Twickenham Beer Festival - 18/10/12. Opaque chestnut brown with a thin tan head. Toffee dominated nose with a little honey, light treacle, touch of herbs and mint. Tastes of dark caramel malt, booze, biscuit, nutty, dark fruits and toffee fudge. Full bodied with a fruity bitter finish.

Dark red or ruby in colour, keeping a lovely smooth head. Has a sweet taste with fruits evident that give it a slight kick in its aftertaste.

Clear 500ml bottle (6.0%), best before end of Dec 09, drank early Nov 09. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass (Old Speckled Hen badged). Mahogany red/brown, clear and healthy looking, a deep head of foam sat on top, the colour of the head a light tan. Lacing held well as the beer sank. Hops and a little malt smell comes from the glass, but like most UK beers that are asked to be cooled before serving it was almost odourless until it began to warm in the glass. Crisp and refreshing, fairly dry from the hop content but a long way from bitter in taste. The malts came into their own as it warmed and calmed the dryness down somewhat, turning the beer into a maltier tasting beer. Slight fizzy feel to the mouth, the alcohol can be found without any undue trying. Not bad at all, a nice little warmer, which got better as it warmed, I wonder why they want it served chilled to 12 degrees C (as per the rear label)?

Cask at Christian Firtal. Copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of toffee with almond and sweet cherry notes. Sweet and rich fruity and malty flavour with biscuit and bread crust character. Some alcohol noticeable.
