Bottle shared at RBESG ’14, day 2 on the mean streets of Bermondsey, 08/08/14 - big thanks to Fergus. Clear copper golden with a moderate light beige covering. Nose is buscuit malt, bready, fruit notes. Taste comprises orchard fruit, malty, light caramel, grain. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with a subtle bitter rinse. So so.

Bottle shared during RBESG 2014 - big thanks to Fergus for providing this rare style from his motherland. Pours clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. The nose has bread and light ginger. Sugary flavor, bready, with some berry jam and cereal. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary-bready finish with more jammy and gummy fruits. OK.

Bottle - Caramel and some sweet flowery notes, birch syrup. Clear copper with a decent beige head. Sweet and herbal, flowery caramel. Sweet and syrupy but pleasant.

Bottle share from northern ireland . nice orange clear colour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is berry hop, sweet caramel, a little booze. Flavour is caramel sweet with berry strawberry, biscuit. Palate is semi sweet, mineral lowish carbonation. Sweet berry jammy lingers.

Bottle thanks to fergus. It pours clear amber with a small beige head. The nose is earthy, toasty, brown bread and light caramel. The taste is bitter, toasty, brown bread, mind caramel, generic sweetness and paper with a short, dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty so-so. No depth....

Bottle from Asda, Enniskillen [220614]
Light caramel brown, clear, large white head that dissipates
Nose of sweet fruity caramel malts, cake spice notes
Taste of caramel, soft fruity, no hops, soft spicy - soft gingerbread, bit of fruit cake spices, slight plasticy note in there, alcohol not noticeable, flavour rather thin though for the abv.
Palate has a soft carb, thin to medium body, fairly sweet. Finish has soft spicy caramel malts
Overall - Rather dull for the abv, needs more oomph, but reasonably drinkable. Maybe better on cask

Bottle at James’s. Pours clear amber, bitter lemon, musty, grassy, blah, not for me.

Pours clear amber, no head. Aromas of sherbet and bad lemon. Some grassy notes. Honey sweet taste. Unpleasant astringent finish. Not great.

Wouldn’t rate this but for the fact I had it at the brewpub, where they ought to know better. Dull amber. The aroma is more caramelly than anything else, with a little manky fruitiness. Flat body - slick and oily. Just a hint of fruitiness. I’m probably being generous with the score.

7th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Clear brown beer. Low carbonation. Sweet start followed by fruit and malt. Not bitter. Dry finish. Nicely blended fruit malt finish.
