Two hand-pulled pints in my local Wetherspoons on 13th October 2023. Nice ruby body, off-white crown. Malty from start to finish with a decent English hop bitterness, no citrus fruits were harmed in the brewing process (Fuggles and Goldings being the hops).

Dark amber with a hint of ruby in it, a frothy off-white head and a soft fruit malt aroma. Nice and creamy with dark fruit and caramel up front and soft biscuit malt underneath, just a hint of hop bitterness in the finish

Cask ale at Flying Horse, half-pint shared with Finn. Remaining off-white head, fair lacing and a clear amber body. Lemony hops on the nose, mid-dry, inviting. Mixed taste of bread-like malts, lemony hops, and a biscuit note. Ends with a short malt-bitter twist. Quite alright. (Tottenham Court Road, London, 28.09.2023).

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. We reckoned this one was probably about 15 years old. Appearance - clear amber with very low carbonation. Nose - floral honey and dried orange. Taste - honey, peach and dried orange. Palate - medium bodied, sweet middle and elegant sweet finish. Overall - lovely, in fact, a drink of singular personality.

Bottle. Deep golden colour with a mediumsized foamy white longlasting head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, some bready and mild floral and some wooden tones to it. Flavour is caramel, some ripe fruits, wood, mild herbal and some bready tones as well. Mild biscuity tones in the finish.

Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a small beige head. Aroma is chocolate, some sweet malts, mild spiciness, dried fruits and some mild nutty and toasted notes as well. Flavour is roasted, some slight spices, mild nutty and a bit wooden tones. Nice aroma, and the flavour is nice too, also more settled than the aroma.
