1/4/2019. Bottle from Real Ale Shop, Wells. Pours deep amber with a good sized off-white to beige head. Aroma of malt, toffee, citrus, dried fruit, wood and a hint of chocolate, rum and butterscotch. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice bittersweet, warming finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle courtesy of Bob, cheers Bob! Sunday 17th August 2014 Murky reddy/brown some light balsamic vinegar but not in an intentional way. Malty, very drab, I thought I’d had this but clearly not, still I don’t think I’d rush to have it again, not great, watery, lightly vinegary, mess not my thing at all. A5 A3 T4 P3 Ov9 2.4
