Bland and featureless own brand ale with hardly any taste or flavour on offer.

Aroma is mainly sweet caramel. Texture is quite soft, thick and oily with a light carbonation. I imagine this is how beer and cola taste when mixed. A nice sweetness on the lips but on the whole rather bland.

Bottle from Co-op. Deep brown with red tomes and a decent tan head. Sweet, malty aroma of caramel and forest fruits. Chewy mouth feel, with plenty of sweet, doughy malts, more caramel and some nuttiness. Slightly bitter finish with some roastiness lurking in the background. Good, easy drinking.

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown towards black with a lacing tan head. Mild roasted caramel malt aroma. Initial breadish flavour with a mild sweetness. A light bitterness shows through the roasted caramel and breadish flavours. Ends medium dry and bitter with a lingering roasted flavour with mild acidic touches from the roasted malt.

A dark brown colour, with a sweetish malty flavour, but with no real complexity to it.
