Bottle from Morrisons. Clear amber/ruby body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of chocolate, earth, caramel and malt loaf. Flavour of toffee, stewed tea and dried cranberries. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Tasty and moreish. The colour is great and there’s a nice sweet edge to it.

Deep copper with a creamy tan head. Caramel malts, berries, and a nice snappy bitterness. Medium dry finish. Quite a lovely pint.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Brownish red and clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Bright bread malts, hints of berries and caramel. With so many sweet beers, it's nice to have one that is deliciously bitter, settling in the back of the throat with a light herbal flavour. Light body with carbonation slightly on the heavy side.

Flavour is composed of toasted malts, light treacle, brown sugars, brown bread, tangy berries, cranberry, fruit and nut. Palate is semi sweet, light tang, ok cask condition. Decent.
