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.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Bottle conditioned, but poured a brilliant clear gold with light carbonation and a loose off-white head which picked up just a trace of sediment giving a somewhat yeasty aroma; a good fruity malt flavour, with a hint of citrus, and with much more body than Iād expect at this strength; and an earthy bitterness to finish. An excellent session bitter.
