Bottle shared in London - from Bread danny. Pours clear gold with a foamy white head. Pretty basic, has some leaves, toasted grains, earth. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more leaves, husky grains, British yeast. So so.

Gravity poured half-pint at the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 25th August 2017. Misty pour, dark amber being the body colour. Malty brew with a nutty undertone, fairly sweet throughout with a caramel flavour to the fore. A few more hops for some bitterness would have enhanced the beer even more in my opinion. Still liked it though.

Gravity poured half-pint at the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 25th August 2017. Decent looking pour, clear amber body with a full head that lasted. Caramel sweet from start to finish, my sweet tooth taking to it straight away, the aroma was enough to start it ’itching’. Si if you like sweet malty molasses this is one to look out for.

500ml bottle from Stori, Bala. Doesn’t pour particularly dark for a Welsh dark ale. I’d tend to agree with the ESB categorisation. Pours a nice glowing amber, small off-white head. Aroma has a healthy caramel presence, lightly nutty. Taste continues with the nutty caramel theme, fairly light bodied with nods towards dark berry fruits. Pleasant ESB.

Found at a tiny pub in Caernarfon. Has an okay nut aroma, with nice cream head and dark copper body. Flavour is malty notes with a hint of hops. Mouthfeel is medium and refreshing. It’s a pretty good ale with some interesting aspects.

Cask on gravity at the Great Welsh Beer Festival, Cardiff, 5/11/2015. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Citrus hops, biscuity malts, a touch of fruity sweetness and moderately bitter finish. Good.
