Bottled. Brown beer with a very strong head. The aroma is rich and very mulled wine/Port like, and the flavour is caramel based, warming and slightly spiced. Overall a pretty good Winter beer.

Cask at Chambers, Folkestone, Kent. Reddish brown best bitter with good malty fruit on nose and in the flavour. Fruitiness gives it a bit of a sweet feel but there are enough hops on the end to balance it. A decent best bitter.

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. Golden colour, fluffy head diminishing rapidly. Moderate but pleasant hoppy aroma with citrussy elements and some toffee. Flavour is rather lager-like, with a grapefruity bitterness with some metallic notes in the finish. I started drinking it far too cold, improves a bit as it warms up, but not much. Reasonably refreshing, but no masterpiece.

Honey golden color, creamy off-white head. Flowery hops in the aroma. Hard metallic malt character, ashy flavor with flowery hops. Light hoppy bitter aftertaste. Unbalanced.

Bottled. Caramel coloured beer with a realtively strongly hopped caramel aroma, and a heavily caramel bitter flavour. Overall a lot better than most Wychwood efforts.

A brown beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is very hoppy (goldings) combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is dry with notes of roasted malt, caramel, and hops.
