Pours a clear brown colour with a small off white head. Malty aroma, some caramel and ripe dark fruit. Moderately sweet, caramel malt, nutty and dark fruit flavours. A herbal hop bitterness in the finish. Nice.

Thanks for the bottle, Meghan! Not sure where she scored this, but Iโm extremely grateful!
Poured into a mug, the appearance was a semi-murky brown color with a healthy finger and a halfโs worth of eggshell white foamy head. Slow dissipation to leave some light roaming lace.
The aroma had some soft sweet to roasty nuts up front with a sturdy caramel/toffee malt base. Light grassy hops.
The flavor leaned into the nuts at first and then gently allowed the malt base to coincide with the hops very nicely. Mildly sweet aftertaste strolling into the finish in just the same sort of way that I wanted.
The feel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt low but good. ABV felt as projected by the brewer.
Overall, leave to the English brewer to produce a stellar brown ale well worthy of having again. Now if only American brewers could do something as good as this.
