Dark brown with orange tints and a thin, creamy tan head. Rather robust caramel aroma; slightly winy, port-like. Just slightly. Rich grainy malts. Thick cereal malt flavor, cookies, chocolate and caramel figs and raisins. Sweet, but with sour notes, roasted flavors, hops, and alcohol to balance. Dry, bitter finish. Very enjoyable with a good, interesting balance.

750ml Bottle ( Drink, Tallinn) - Dark golden in colour. Hoppy, but slightly sterile aroma with some hints of grapefruit, tea and malt. Fruity and hoppy taste which unfortunately has some sterile elements. Not a bad attempt, but they could do much better with this.

500ml Bottle (Drink, Tallinn) - Copper coloured. Malty and fruity aroma. The taste is also malty and fruity, but is rather sterile. Could be worse, although it’s not very impressive.

Half pint, cask ale at The Flying Horse, Gatwick Airport. Golden-copper. Dry fruity to the nose. The taste profile contains lots of fresh fruits with noble malts in the background. Smooth bitter finish. Easy to drink. Moreish summer beer (05.05.2009).

[Gravity cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Brown. Weird smell and initial taste - almond/marzipan mixed with plant food! Mellows into what is really qutie a pleasant beer, with toffee flavours dominating over a rich, fruity finish. Hmmm... mixed feelings on this one. c8

Cask at the Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon 24-04-09 Pours reddy brown touch of haze. The nose was almost non-existent but then it was up against the Oakham Hareflick and the surprisngly good Ramsbury’s Hell’s Highway Mild. Taste was fruity and malty and there was some toffee, the commercial description being very accurate and whilst not a bad beer by any means its just a middle of the road beer. A6 A3 F5 P3 Ov11 2.8

Cask-conditioned at the Bishops Tavern, Bristol 21/04/09. Brown with a slight, off-white head. Indifferent malty brew, with some fruit and sweetness and not much else. Forgettable.

Cask handpull at Samuel Peto, JDW, Folkestone. It’s a quite fruity bitter, no huge hop presence, little bit of tongue tingle on finish. Some GK yeast character. Other than fruit, a bit dull.
