Bottle from Sainsbury's, Brookwood, I believe. Aroma has sweet dark fruit which get slightly gluey. Clear dark brown. Thin creamy off-white head. Less sweet in terms of flavour: medium bitter. Earthy. Woody. Sweet fruity streak is less obvious. Boozy burn edge. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Punchy enough for own-brand and nice/surprising to see it's Sainsbury's who've commissioned a 7% Corrie beer

To mark the occasion - was already marked down in the supermarket. Dark amber pour with a lasting white head. Aromas of malt, dried fruit, bread, toffee/caramel - taste adds some candied fruit. Fit for a king? Don't know, but very, very nice for a supermarket brand.

[50cl bottle from my local Sainsbury's] A pale amber pour with a tight white head and gentle carbonation; malty aroma; slightly sulphurous in the mouth with a taste of pale biscuity malts; then a light herbal bitterness and some caramel to finish. Refreshing and quite pleasant, but rather unexciting.

[50cl bottle from my local Sainsburyโs.] A bright amber pour with a thin white head and light carbonation; gentle cinnamon aroma; sweet malty taste with some cinnamon and raisins; then a dry spicy finish with more cinnamon and some ginger adding warmth. Iโm not a fan of this.
