Bottle from B&M. Pours a clear deep amber with small beige head. Aroma of toasted malts, some caramel and metal. Taste has a bit more depth than the aroma suggests with a decent toffee and fruity tang to this with a nice building bitterness in the finish. Very straightforward but fairly tasty.

Bottle from B&M Bargains, Rochdale. Deeper clear amber with a small head. Caramels compliment a bitterness here. Slightly chewy.

500ml bottle; BBD 30th August 2022. Drank at home on 6th March 2022. Dark amber with a chestnut glow, off-white head that hung around for a while. Malty with a slight toffee sweetness in the flavour and aroma, bottoms up!

[50cl bottle from B&M, Festival Park, Hanley.] A deep chestnut pour with a ring of white head; malty aroma; earthy malt taste; then a light bitterness and some caramel to finish. Pleasant but unexciting.
