A full bodied ruby hued, bittersweet ale with a thin cream head, aromas of toffee, dark chocolate and tobacco with an earthy lightly spiced toffee and caramel flavour. An obvious go-to beer when you want a break from hop bitterness but need a beer lighter than a stout.

500ml bottle from Oddbins at London Bridge. Deep ruby colour clear, with lasting dark beige head. Aroma of fruity malt. It’s a little earthy. Not huge spicyness from the rye. Maybe a bit too cold out of the fridge. Fine. Some decent malty flavours. Not a massive finish. Fades a bit.

Bottle from Oddbins, Blackheath. Dark amber pour with a white head which soon dissipates. The aroma reminds me of those rather nice plain chocolate raspberry truffle sweets you used to get from Woolies pick ’n’ mix, I do miss ’em...wonder if they’re still around in a retro sweetshop somewhere? Anyway, toffee malt, caramel and light smoke flavour. Very flat indeed, a shame as the nose got me all halcyon. Light bitter finish. Needs a lot more ’oomph’.
