Bottle which pours a clear amber brown, small off white head. Aroma of malts with rye, caramel, blackcurrant and spice, decent retention.. Taste is the same, a nice caramel malt with a rye edge, hops do a decent job bringing blackcurrant and general fruitiness to the beer, Slightly vague grassy tangy finish. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Quite good.

[50cl bottle from my local Co-op.] A bright reddish chestnut pour with a fast fading beige head; strong malty aroma; malty taste with lots of burnt sugar adding bitterness and sweetness; then some bitter treacle to finish. A heavyweight beer.

Bottle from Scotmid. Appearance - deep brown. Decent white head. Nose - sweet malt, toffee, candied orange and just a hint of red fruits. Generally cakey. Taste - dry red fruit, caramel, brown bread. Light burnt toffee and toastiness. Palate - medium bodied with elements of sweet and bitter going on. Overall - enjoyed this.

500ml bottle: BBE August 2023, from a local (now closed and turning into a Morrisons) Co-Op store. Drank at home on 25th January 2023. Clean ruby body, off-white crown. The Rye gives off that distinct aroma and taste along with a sweeter malty caramel/toffee feel before the hops kick in and a fruity/berry bitterness arrives.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Salcombe. Copper-coloured ale with a head. Has a deeper tasting sweetened bitterness. It’s a nice red ale in style, but perhaps understated.
