Bottle from Broughton’s village shop. Clear ruby/brown body with a thin beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of fruit pudding and berries. Flavour of toffee, earth and berries. Thin to medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. Rich and fruity. This is very nice, and more complex than the 5.2% ABV suggests.
