This mid-brown coloured session bitter has a wonderful aroma of caramel, roasted malt with a hint of smokiness and dried fruit. This beer has a smooth and full mouthfeel whilst the initial taste is of intense nutty malt sweetness which then gives way to a distinct smokiness imparted by the crystal and dark malts. This is followed by and balanced with a long lingering spicy and pine hinted aftertaste chockfull of English hops.

Cask (backlog). Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is wood, some floral and grassy notes along with mild nutty and caramel notes. Flavour is quite similar, with some slight toasted malty notes to it as well. Easy session beer.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear yellow pour with a weak head. Hay aroma. Pretty sweet with more hay, bit of dough and mild bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Reasonably well balanced to finish, more dough and crackers, hints of dandelion ans straw. Alright.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, amber body under a small, off-white head. Weak nose with something cellar like. Mostly fruity though. The flavor has a touch of coffee or at least something smoked. Fruity, slightly bitter and malty. Medium to full body with pleasant carbonation. A nice one, sort of boring aroma, but with a pleasant flavor that surprised a bit with itโs smoked or roasted touch. 110415
