500ml bottle from my local brewery. Clear dark amber brown colour with a thin off-white head. Aroma is malty, lightly roasted, light hop note, toffee. Flavour is very malty, burnt malts in fact, kind of smoky - a taste which lingers in the mouth, earthy bitterness.

Pint from the Royal Hop Pole Tewkesbury. Colour is amber with off white head aroma and taste are typical of a bitter, but there is a but too much acidity for me.
