Bottle from Hog & Partridge, St Neots. Colour on the dark side of toffee, cloudy. A bit of white head. Scent of caramel, bready malt with some soft raisin, strawberry and gardenia. Taste is sweet malt, very lightly bitter, with a sweet biscuity malty finish. This is pretty good really. Would have scored higher if not for its off-putting appearance.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting. It pours deep ruby with a small white head. The nose is caramel, bread, red berry and a touch of citrus. The taste is toast, red berry, caramel, leather, wood, citrus pith and a some plastic with a dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Smooth, but lacking in flavour. Very so-so.

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - yet another Buckden score! Pours clear, light gold with a fine, bubbly white head. Dry, grainy bread aroma. Light sweet flavor with faint berries and semi-dark malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Mellow dryness in the finish, with lightly toasted and bready malts and mild, leafy bitterness. A fine sessioner, nothing more.
