Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up long ago, and I don't recall where. BBE September 2014. Pours clear copper-ruby with a fading, foamy khaki head. Not bad, moderate oxidation, decent sweetness, toasted malts, a bit of toffee, lightly tangy berries, British yeast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with lots of brown bread, toasted caramel, a little earth, more ripe berries. Pretty enjoyable overall.

Handpull cask at the Belvoir Alehouse, Old Dalby. Light brown, clear with a creamy head. Aroma of caramel, light sweet spice, raisin, Earth in the aroma. Sweet taste with enough bittering hop for balance in the finish. Plum and cinnamon in the aftertaste. Tasty stuff.

Bottle: Nose is butterscotch, berry, not a lot of anything. Taste malt, touch of berrys faint hint of dark fruits which fade with the thin slightly metallic finish. Mouthfeel is poor. A bad beer.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear copper brown, quickly fading white head. Aromas are butterscotch, brown sugar, caramel. No discernable hop character. Tastes sweet too. Bit disappointing.

500ml Bottle: BBD end of Aug 2013, poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 13 Jun 2013. Looked good: nice red hue to its coat with a fine head of off-white bubbles to top it off. Malty nose, semi-sweet molasses, nuts on brown bread toasted. The taste was also semi-sweet and malty: again toasted malts, this time with a caramel feel to the flavour. Mild hop bitterness throughout the brew with a good balance if leaning heavily towards the malt side of things.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus, Thompson and Bobson. Clear amber color,small off-white head. Smell malts, lightly caramel, don’t get much more. Taste malts, lightly caramel, slightly bitter. Nothing wrong with it, just boring.
