Can from Connolly's Wine Merchants, online. Pours a light cloudy amber, small off white head, lacing. Aroma and taste is malts, nuts, hint of spice, raisins. Sweet but a good bitterness in the finish to offset. Medium bodied, chewy, moderate carbonation. Good bitter.

440ml can from Gloucester Services (going South): BBE December 2021. Drank at my parents on 9th September 2021. Clear golden/amber body, thin white head that didn't hang around very long. Nice blend with a malty front to it's aroma and taste, hops give balance and some bitterness, but the malts are the more powerful ingredient.
