A tawny-coloured classic best beer, with well-balanced malt flavours, finished with a hint of blackcurrant and a slightly spicy, sweet aroma.

Tried the lsd and sundowner at the same time. The others have a softer mouthfeel. This is a decent bitter though it's full of maltiness with a fair bitterness.

Cask-conditioned at the JDW in Petersfield, Hants 30/6/2017. Deep amber in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Sweet , slightly bready, malts, leafy hops, some caramel and plum fruit, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask (backlog). Amber colour with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma is toffee, some mild berries, wood and mild resiny/sappy notes to it. Flavour is toffee, mild nuttiness along with some berries, mild herbs and some resiny notes as well. Easy to drink, and good session bitter.
