hink legendary. This distinct ruby beer’s sweet caramel and fruity aromas tease the taste buds. Brewed with smooth and rich chocolate and crystal malts and a blend of Fuggles and Styrian Golding hops. Expect a delicious full-bodied toffee flavour and a fruity finish of figs, raisins and dates. Drink legendary.

Pint can, one of a four pack given to me by my neighbour. Cheers Bob! Clear ruby red. Slim dense lasting of white foam. Loooks well. Caramel. Fruity toffee, not unlike Toffo’s you got as a kid. Taste is pretty sweet with some light bitterness. Drinks fine. Decent mouthfeel really. A bit cask-y. Light stewed fruit bitter finish. Decent. Disappeared in no time.
