Cask @ Ringwood Brewery. Pours a deep clear amber, off-white head of foam. Aroma brings caramelised amber malt, a suggestion of dried dark fruit. Flavour profile seems centred around the same sort of thing, good bitter bite. Ok bitter overall.

500ml bottle from Ringwood Brewery shop. Pours a clear gold, white head. Aroma brings a pleasant citrussy whiff. Moderately hoppy, soothing citrussy air to taste, mild herbal afterglow with a cereal base malt. Ok.

Cask at the Red Lion, St Peters, 24/11/23. Clear amber with a good sized lasting beige head, full glass lacing ensues. Nose is caramel, biscuit, sugars, dried fruit rinds. Taste comprises caramel, sweet edged, brown bread, sugars, light berry fruit notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. This was in decent condition but it just comes over very 'caramelly' and lacks balance ... last third of the pint became a bit of a chore to finish.

Bottled. Deep brown colour with a mediumsized beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, some nuts, mild chocolate as well as some liquorice and mild toasted notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has a rather strong burnt sugary element to it. Quite roasted in the aftertaste.

Clear amber gold with a frothy white head and not much of an aroma. Malty and sweet with very little else going on
