Deep chestnut brown with a bubbly tan head and soft fruit malt on the nose. Sweet malt with fruity notes and just a hint of spice, mellow dry bitterness finishes things off, just a bit on the thin side

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn at The Raven. Deep rosewood coloured body, filmy off-white layer leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Slightly roasted malty nose, hints of earth and leaves. Dark doughy flavours with moments of caramel malts. Finish of with a drop of fruity bitterness. Satisfying (Bath 03.05.2017).

On tap from the Raven. Pours a dark brown. Biscuity, caramely aroma. Drinkable but nothing special.
