Full flavoured malty goodness and dark in colour which brings to mind the fundamental quality of ale. Smooth to the mouth with a lightly earthy scent.

Bottle, from historic notes. Bought at a Premier store in Exeter whilst on holiday in Devon. Poured chestnut brown with an average size off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, nut and light fruit. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Was ok.

Bottle conditioned 500ml, a present from my father. Broached on 16th Feb 2018 and poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home. Dark mahogany body, beige head. Malty yet bitter and almost sour in nature, like home brew that's 'on the turn'. This can't be right. I am still going to rate and score this, but I promise to revisit again if I drink the beer again.
