Bottle from the brewery. It pours deep red - brown with a pretty decent fluffy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee, sappy, hint of pine, cola cubes, brown bread, touch of dried fruit and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, touch of caramel, toffee, dried fruits, malt loaf, brown bread, light resin, pine and sap with a dry finish. Average body and decent, supportive carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but it's balanced and very drinkable. One of their better offerings.

Decent easy drinkable ale.
Quite session able stuff
Bready, fruity, toffee and some pine
