500 ml clear bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Deep golden to amber colour, large white head. Strong and typical Shepherd Neame aroma of modified hops, toffee and nuts. The flavour is fairly well hopped throughout, notes of toffee and nuts again, grapefruity and medium bitter finish, becomes slightly metallic in the aftertaste. .

50 cl bottle, BBE 03/2012.
Some toffee-like hop aroma hits my nose instantly when pouring. Wood, Some caramel and hints of stale nuts too. Flavour has toffee and caramel but unfortunately some metal too. Drinkable bitter, but too harsh, woody and nutty for me.
