Packed full of dark crystal malts this brew takes on a rich amber colour. A bouquet of caramel, amber malts and sweet berries give way to a palate of biscuit malts, woody & fruity hops that deliver a medium dry finish. This brew performs superbly cask conditioned as well as in bottle.
Malts: Ale Malt, Malted Wheat, Oats, Vienna Malt, Dark Crystal
Hops: First Gold, Savinjski Goldings, Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook

500ml bottle from Appellation Wines, Comely Bank branch. Pours a clear copper with a good white head. Interesting aromas, rye bread, cherries, cherry jam maybe? Caramel comes through on the taste, and a light hop bitterness. Medium body, medium on texture too, finishes well. Really enjoyed this.

Cask-conditioned at Three Judges, Glasgow 20/6/2013. Reddish-amber with a decent, off-white head. Caramel, brown sugar, red berries and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 13/04/13. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with reddish hues and a thin off white head. Nose carries hops, dark malt, sugars, fruits. Taste follows, darker fruit flavours, sugars, caramel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, some bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff.

Aroma: Toffee, biscuit and earth. Subdued red fruit notes.
Appearance: Clear ruby body with a medium off-white head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Excellent carbonation.
Taste: Subtle flavour but quite complex. Bitter earth, sweet malt, cherry and plum trying to come to the fore.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a very oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation prickle.
Overall: A decent Bitter. I’d have this again.

Bitter o miedzianym kolorze ze średnią piana. W smaku treściwe i wytrawne. Słody mało wyczuwalne. Etykieta niezbyt ładna. Powiem szczerze że po braciach William spodziewałem się czegoś znacznie lepszego.

Cask at Wandsworth Beer Festival, March 2012. It pours deep red, with a thin white head. The nose is caramel, salted pretzel, lemon and pepper. The taste is caramel, toffee, red fruit, citrus pith, lime, lemon soap, honey and pepper, with some sweetness in the finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad.

50 cl bottle, rated on 17.06.2011
Aroma is rather hoppy and sliglthly sweet with some hints of raspberries. Kind of reminds me of Nøgne #100. Flavour is hoppy and slightly sweet with resin and hints of raspberries. Very good and rather hoppy for a 4,5% bitter.

50cl bottle. Pours an amber-honey colour with a decent head, most of which departs, some of which hangs around. The nose has something sweet - maybe a sweet herb thing and some sweet berry fruit - hard to describe. The taste has jammy dodgers - red fruit with biscuity-ness. The palate has a medium body and texture and a fairly clean finish. Overall, what a really nice beer.
