Cask at Smithfield Hotel, Manchester. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and light notes of butterscotch. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and to begin with light notes of butterscotch, but it grown on the tongue to a lot, which is a drawback.

On gravity at the Royal Oak, Bath, winter festival 21/02/09. Deep amber with a decent, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma, with some caramel and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour had some doughy malts, more fruit and a decent bitter finish. Ok.
