1/3 pint, gravicask shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Low, bubbly, off-white head, clear mahogany coloured body, laces fine. Brown malty aromas, hints of fruit. Caramel- fruity flavours added by moments of dark berries. Bittersweet endnotes. Pretty fair. (Burton upon Trent 16.02.2023).

Rocky off white head left a spotty cover on a reddish brown body. Sweet, malt & toffee aroma. Medium bodied smooth & dry on the back. Toffee, caramel, malt & aniseed tastes with a tangy fruity finish. Nice one.

Sample at GBBF Winter 2023. Still brown pour, a few stray bubbles. Aroma is malty, toasty, woody. Taste follows with soft dark malty flavors and mild bitterness. Smooth

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Dyp rødbrun. Luftig skumring. Forsiktig fruktaroma. Smaken svisker. Litt tynn. Tilløp til bitterhet i avslutninga.

Bottle ordered from Beer GB/Beer Ambleside. Now Great Corby Fox and 4.7%. Aroma had caramel malts and berries. Clear brown. Thick foamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter with a big sour berry edge. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's nice enough but not particularly exciting. May as well be a standard bitter.
