An auburn beer with rich complex flavours and a deep red glow. The sweet maltiness is balanced with spicy hop aromas and a dry finish. Definitely a pint to savour.

Reddish brown, clear ale with a sweet aroma. It has an acute strong taste that lingers. Although there’s some in the nose there’s no real fruits in its flavour. No head.

Auburn color. Very definative malty nose. Tons of wood, very malty palate. Not so complex. Hints of chocolate. Also cloying, but fairly dry.

Cask gravity at SIBA BF, Paddock Wood. Very clear orange red. Raw alcohol on aroma. OK in mouth, doesn’t do much, some malty fruit. Some fullness. Gets better as it went down, some decent fruit flavour.
