A predominantly malty, lightly hopped beer giving a satisfying fullness of flavour with a warm finish. A glass or two is a must before seeking an audience with the monster!

Cals at Archibald Simpsons, Aberdeen. It pours clear chestnut brown. With a a handsome frothy beige head. The aroma is toasty grains, earthy, woody, nutty, filter coffee, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake and cacao nibs. The taste is firmly dry, some pleasing bitterness which lingers, woody, sappy, resin, dull coffee, cacao nibs, earth, dried fruits , some spice and molasses with a drying, slightly toothy finish. Average body and soft, fluffy cask carbonation. Well put together, flavourful and in good condition. Nice one.

Pours a clear amber-brown colour with a small bubbly off-white head. The aroma is malty with caramel and dark fruit notes. A moderately sweet and malty taste, sweet malts, light caramel and dark berry fruits with some peppery hop notes in a bittersweet finish.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear russet colour lasting beige head. Malty aroma. Full fruity ale yeast and malty flavour. Light bitterness on the finish. It's a decent malty bitter with some ok pepper character on the finish.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Shrewsbury Hotel (Spoons) on 24th January 2024. Looked fine, clean and clear autumnal amber with an off-white blanket of creamy bubbles. Malty front, but 'on the turn' should returned it really as it was clearly towards the end of the barrel. Scored kindly because I'm sure it's OK normally.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - dark brown to chestnut. Decent head. Nose - toffee and nuts. Taste - more praline. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish if a little sweet though that is expected from the style. Overall - yep 80 shilling fairly well nailed.
