500ml bottle. Pours almost black with a small beige head. Aroma of dark malts, molasses, malt loaf. Taste of malt loaf, dark chocolate, molasses, mild ashy smoke or roast malt, bittersweet. Light bodied - only 3.7% so I think that's a fair expectation.

Bottle from Bodnant Welsh Food Hall. Aroma is earthy, malty. Fruit and berry edge. Clear chestnut. Thick foamy off-white head attempts to flee the glass. Tangy but sweet fruit and berries. Malts and a woody rasp then come through. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Pleasant enough.
