Bottle. Aroma and flavor was more malty then I expected. Amber colored apperance. This was a good beer. With a lower abv I believe I could really enjoy several of these.

500ml bottle. Clear copper with a foamy white head. Malty caramel aroma. Flavour is caramel with some citrus hop. Nothing special but tasty

This isn't desperately exciting but it's a perfectly servicleable bitter.Looks perfect being clear amber with a white head, malty caramel in the smell and taste with a bit of zesty hop in there too. Pretty solid.

On cask at the Pier in Mumbles. Appearance -amber with a decent head. Nose - light sweet malt. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - easy drinking as it doesn’t generally taste of much.

Bottle from Tesco, Holyhead [170615]
Dark amber, clear, bubbly thin white head
Aroma of caramel notes, barley malt, soft tea notes, fruity sweet caramel
Taste of caramel notes, soft tea, quite malty beer, dab of molasses, brown sugar, hint of dark honey, bit unusual
Palate - Medium body, rather sweet, bit oily, some soft bitterness, rather malty. Finish of sweet caramel, hint of brown bread.
Overall - Quite liked the flavour at first, but after a while found it got over sweet malty
