Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Bristol 10/5/08. Chestnut coloured with a reddish tinge and a slight, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with a hint of caramel. Sweetish flavour, with plenty more fruit and a touch of bitterness in the finish. Not the best example of the style, but drinkable nonetheless.
