500ml bottle, gift from a friend, BB Oct 21. Pours a see through coca cola look with next to no head. Aromas & tastes of dried fruits, burnt ash & malt. Moderate body. Sweet finish. Very poor effort I'm afraid to say, hard to finish & I've a second bottle to get through at some point.

Deep brown with a tinge of red, creamy looking tan head and fruit malt on the nose. Smooth and semi-creamy, tastes a little like Christmas cake mix with some earthy hop character and a dry, very slightly bitter finish
gave a cheers!

Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear amber with a tight beige head. Aromas of light toffee and red fruit. Taste is more of the same. A bitter orange note on the end.

Half-Pint, cask ale at Flying Horse (JDW). Stable beige head over a deep mahogany coloured body, scattered lacing. Moderate aromas of earthy malts and dried fruits. Balanced taste character with caramel malts, hazelnuts, and a bite of stewed fruits. Mid-sweet malt-driven end, slightly roasted. Okay Yuletide feel. (Gatwick, 10.12.2023).
gave a cheers!

Cask handpull at Humphrey Bean JDW Tonbridge. Clear cola colour lasting beige head. Not as malty as I was expecting from the colour. Some sweetness. Not much hop. No real bitterness. Not fully attenuated. Sweetish finish. OK. Mediocre
gave a cheers!
