Bottle. A lightly unclear dark golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma is lightly oxidzed, with caramel, some dried fruits and peaches. It’s medium to full-bodied with a soft carbonation. Caramel, oxidation, dried fruits and some herbal bitterness. Some generic fruityness too, lasting for a while. Pretty nice this one, but nothing extraordinary going on. 140815

Bottle 500ml (AbM, BB 03/2014)
Clear copper-amber color, small beige head. Aroma is grassy with harsh old, unfresh aroma. Light-bodied. Slightly sweet caramel, earthy English hops. Flavor is clean and fresh although aroma is not, maybe should have again from keg or cask. Quite traditional English "strong" bitter.
