Brown with thin creamy head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of malt sweetness. A touch of dried fruit. Full bodied and flavoursome.

500ml bottle from Tipplers, Bewdley. Pours a dark relatively clear brown, small off white bubbles atop. Aroma of leafy malt, lightly oxidised, caramel. Light, almost watery body, minimal carbonation, lightly oxidised, leather, caramel, amber malt. Oxidised elements a little off putting, not great.
