A ruby-coloured bitter with a rich, spicy, roasted aroma and a full, malty body, resulting in a full-bodied mouthfeel.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - dark brown to ruby. Decent head. Nose - light molasses and shortbread. Taste - more molasses, some red fruit. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy texture. Decent bitter finish. Overall - this is ok.

500ml bottle: part of a three ’Moon Gazer’ pack. All three shared with my father on 22nd Aug 2016 at his place. Slight ruby hue to the amber bodied beer, white topping. Malts lead the way, semi-sweet and lightly roasted, some dark fruits in the background within both the nose and flavour: decent.

Pre GBBF tasting as Chris and Ruth’s. Clear amber beer, good white head. Light semi dry palate. Modest carbonation. Tangy malts, some caramel. Very ripe dried fruits. Trace of bitterness on the semi dry finish. Meh.

Cask @ Ale Emporium, Preston. More chestnut than ruby with a creamy head. There’s some light paler malts here, all with an underlying sweetness to them, but there’s a dryness in the palate as well. Its nose carries a more malt aroma as well as a bitterness.
