Dark copper color. Light toffee and milk chocolate malty nose. Soft mouth, slightly sour. Caramel, toffee sourness is a bit off putting. Lingering malty finish

Malty bitter beer with a hint of a banana. Okay but hard to excited about.

Bottle 50 cl. Clear amber golden with a small off-white head. Sweetish nutty nose. Medium-bodied, sweet roasted malt and a whiff of sweetened coffee. Very subdued bitterness. The roast and the coffee makes me think more of a Brown Ale. 080510

Sample at Copenhagen beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are sweet malt, hops and notes of caramel. Sweet malt is very dominant.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small white head. Aroma is mild hoppy dry herbal with a dry roasted malt base. Bitter and roasted malt, subdued fruity. Rather dry and bitter flavoured with a slight metallic note. Bitter and roasted finish.

[Bottle from Mum & Dad, shared with Jim - cheers!] A clear, glowing copper colour with a middlinโ€™ foamy off-white head. Moderate carbonation. Smells strongly of autumn fruits, but the fruitiness comes through less strongly on the tongue in what is a very traditional, slightly earthy and fairly bitter English beer. Better than the cask version, but still only OK. c7

[bottle] Clear, coppery amber colour with a light-beige and short foamy head. Sweet and sourish malty, slightly ascorbic nose with notes of grassy hops. Sourish bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slim malty base with light notes of licorice, plastic and a subtle fruity touch; moderately dry and bitter finish with grassy hops. Not a very exciting Bitter [13.XII.08].

Bottle, 4.3%. Citric aroma, perhaps slightly grainy. Dark amber colour. The flavour is quite malty, slightly nutty. Quite grainy with subtle sweet hops.
