4.8% version
Caramel brown, clear, dense off white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft caramel, light toffee, touch of dark fruits, light aroma
Taste of caramel malts, soft toffee, very slight smoke, dab of raisin, slight toasted notes, easy going
Palate - Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Finish as main flavour.
Overall - OK - I’m sure this is less malty than when I tried the new 4.8% version last year (didn’t rate it)....might not be in best nick here
