[50cl bottle from a farm shop near Tarporley.] A reddish chestnut brown coloured pour with a fast fading beige head; aroma of caramel, malt and raisins; sweet malty body with some vinous fruit; and a little spice to finish. A pleasant strong ale.

Bottle from Booths, Keswick.Deep amber-red with a lasting yellowy- beige head. Lovely rich, malty, fruity aroma. Taste is of toffee, a touch of chocolate and baked plums. A top-notch strong bitter, really enjoyed this.

Bottle thanks to my step-dad. Pours clear ruby with a thin beige head. Aromas of blackcurrant, dried mixed herbs and stewed tea. Taste is light sweet toffee, tannins and dried herbs again. Light fruity finish.

Rocky tan head left a froth on a reddish brown body. Chocolate, malt & caramel aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth & soft with tingle on the back. Chocolate, toffee, malt & caramel tastes with a tangy lightly hopped finish. Tasty

500ml bottle at Anthony's of Wellington on 28th August 2021. This is their ramped up Mad Hatter version. It is almost ruby in colour and has a full beige foaming head. Malty nose and taste with caramel and toffee notes to the fore. Some decent bitterness arrives late to the party to give a semblance of balance, but it's all about the malts really.
