Bottle from Morrisons. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Raisin, chocolate and dark fruit aroma. Nuts, malts and chocolate dominate the taste. Malty-sweet finish. Quite nice.

Draught @ Olutravintola Kahdet Kasvot
Aroma has bready malt, toffee and goldings hops. Flavour has toffee, some hay and hints of caramel. Surprisingly much hops for the style. But still yet another toffee-filled British bitter.

Det skummar och färgen ser fin ut. En smak av tydlig humle men sedan tar det slut. Lite märklig och skum smak som slocknar snabbt i gommen.

Small cream head over well-carbonated, clear foxy-copper beer. Caramel and toffee nose, leafy, rainwater. Bitterish/hoppy/leafy flavour, much less sweet than suggested by the nose. Reasonable balance. In the finish, the bitterness becomes a tad harsh. Chestnut flavour. Slightly sticky MF, well-carbonated feel. Maybe medium bodied. Not bad, but not one I’d return to.
