Bottle from Purely Cornish. Appearance - deep amber to almost brown, but clear. White head. Nose - toffee, probably into caramel. Brown bread. Taste - caramel and bread again. Palate - medium bodied, creamy texture, a bit too sweet on the finish. Overall - ok.

Rochdale Beer Festival 2016. Dark amber and bitter in character, but with a low bitterness allowing a sweetness through.
