Bottle, ~12C. Umber with a good cm of dense pale beige head that lasts well. Aroma of strong bread and dark fruit. Sweet with red berries, prunes, cooked apple, some singed notes, bread. A bit of alcohol and rather deft creeping bitterness at the end. A bit of a throwback to the days when a beer of this strength was half inclined to hide its ABV and half inclined to emphasise it.

Cask at The Crown Tavern, Lee. Clear honey coloured pour with a white head. Not had this for many moons. Orange marmalade & apricot aromas. Same in the taste. Quite bitter. Quaffable stuff but has lost the nutty backnote it once had.

[275ml bottle from Home Bargains.] Not seen this for a while! But it seems to taste of Young’s of old. A golden amber pour with a thin cream head; aroma of barley; classic English hop bitterness with a sweet malty body ; and some caramel and honey to finish. Nostalgic.
