500ml bottle bought in Swadlincote to give me some malty company on a train journey. Has a chestnut colour, with a pleasant malty start and fruity hoppy finish.

Oct 2011: Brown 500ml bottle, poured into a German glass tankard: wonderfully coloured beer, sparkling bronze body with a creamy head of tightly knit small bubbles: it truely looked great. This beer is about the malts, Maris Otter, they dominate the brew, and I liked it. The hops (all whole) are Challenger, Goldings and Northdown: all subtle in their usage and each adding to the aroma and bitterness of the overal feel of the beer. The Maris Otter malts aren’t burnt, toasted or even roasted in this beer, they just impart some lovely semi-sweet molasses type flavours into the brew and make it a very good beer indeed.
