Bottle from Cheers in Mumbles. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - sweet malt and light toffee. Taste - hint of nuts but mainly light toffee and grainy malt. Palate - light bodied, with a light creamy texture and while the palate is light and dry it is for some reason not that refreshing. Overall - very grainy.

500ml bottle. Reddish brown with a fizzy head that bubbled away fairly quickly. Sweet, caramel aroma that carries through to the flavour. Enjoyable

Clear, lively red/amber pint with a thin white head. Smells sweet, fruit and caramel. Taste is very pleasant. A bit of fruit, maybe apple, some caramel, a touch of bitterness in there to to balance it. Reasonable body to it and the flavour lingers quite nicely too. very drinkable.

Bottled. Amber colour, smal slightly off-white head. Aroma is nutty, wooden, some dark malts, mild toasted notes as well as some slight notes of bitter floral and grassy notes. Flavour is being quite similar in a very nice balance.
