50cl bottle from Tesco, Camberley. A golden amber pour with a tight cream head; rich malty aroma; a thick, buttery, caramel, malt taste; but with the alcohol very obvious in the finish, despite the relatively low ABV. I’m not impressed.

Half pint, hand-pulled cask at Crown Inn, Stockport. Cloudy red-brown coloured body under a remaining creamy off-white head. Bread, apricot and herbal hops on the nose. Toffee, dried fruits and bread to the taste buds. A tad too sweet to the ending, otherwise rather satisfying (03.02.2015).

Bottle from ASDA. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Sweet, maize and peardrop aroma, with a touch of tired hop. Malty and lager like in flavour with not much of a finish. Not so good.

Clear amber brown colour, small foamy off-white head, dissipates quickly, minimal lacing. Strong aroma, toasted malts, honey, dark fruits, brown sugar. Taste medium to heavy sweet, light bitter, toffee, caramel. Full body, oily to sticky texture, bit tingly on the tongue, average carbonation. Finish mild sweet, roasty, slightly bitter, raisins, some alcohol, overall a decent strong ale.

Bottle from the brewer’s own stand at the Good Food Show at Birmingham NEC. Ruby coloured. Really fruity this one- plums and raisins and Christmas cake- backed up with good toffee malts. Heady alcohol is pretty well integrated into it. It’s sweet (but not overly so), potent and warming, reminiscent of a nice barley wine. I like it.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Copper coloured with a sugary sweet toffee nose and a small creamy head. It certainly doesn’t feel its strength with a fairly bland taste but a smoothish texture.
