330ml can from Darts Farm, Topsham. Pours clear pale golden with a white cap. Aroma: pale malts, a little citrus, light floral. Taste: light sweet & bitter, crisp, light, light bread, lemon hints. Light body with average carbonation. Not bad, for the ABV. Could do with a little more hop cahracter though, for a supposed IPL.

Bottle from Ashby’s of Salcombe, Malborough. Copper coloured ale with a very thin head. Its maltiness is fairly strong, but it is offset by some hops and the results is light caramels in both aroma and taste with some bitterness.

Three hand-pulled pints on 7th Dec 2019; The Mitre, Witheridge Devon. Dark brown with a red hue, off-white head of smooth bubbles. Spiced with winter spices with fruit cake like dried fruitiness. Sounds more exciting than it was actually.

(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 29 July 2019) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark fruit, coffee and prunes. Malty, roasted taste with notes of caramel, dark fruit, prunes, raisins, chocolate and a mild roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fairly fruity for a stout, but tasty and well balanced. Nice one.
