Clear deep amber beer, decent pale tan head. Smooth palate, light and mildly dry, good fine carbonation emerging on the back end. Thin malts, a little caramel. Decent amount of raisin led ripe fruits, plenty of fruit cake and a touch of marmalade underneath. It all marries up very well with the malts. A light and semi dry finish. The best beer I can recall from this brewery. Slightly amused that the rear label refers to this as a Barleywine, yeah, a bit light to be that style, but definitely a perfect jumping off point for brewing something stronger from the same recipe. Tres drinkable.

Pours a hazy amber colour with a small off-white head that settled. Aroma is pale malts, light caramel and pithy oranges. A moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, caramel, sweet orange marmalade flavours with some hoppy bitterness in the finish.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks for Mild supply and Bishop Nick supplement!]. Clear, chestnut colour with ruby shimmer and average to huge, frothy to creamy, moderately to widely lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Nutty, minimally toasty, dark malty and leafy, hoppy aroma, hints of hazelnut, Brazil nut, a touch of nougat and coffee. Taste is mildly roasty, minimally nutty, dark malty, slightly leafy hoppy, hints of coffee, a touch of Brazil nut, hazelnut, mild roasty bitterness. Minimally creamy, watery texture, dry, even minimally metallic-repellent palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Perfect appearance, lovely composition, superbly implemented - liked it a lot.

Cask at the Maypole, Cambridge, 19/07/22. Clear golden copper with a good sized off white head that retains well ... lacing ensues. Nose is dusty fruits, grains, straw, biscuit crumbs. Taste comprises biscuit malts, hint of cereals, brown bread, fruit esters. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close. Not bad.
