Tesco Bottle Cracker malt and mild aromatic hop aroma. Orange brown, low creamy head. Quite fruity flavors (peach,apricot, apples), cracker malt and pine hops - quite nice. Slightly fizzly mouthfeel, fruity aftertaste.

Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Colour is black / dark ruby. Lovely aroma of dark fruits / prunes, English pipe tobacco, chocolate and coffee. Flavour is roast barley and oats on a surprisingly fruity background. Very drinkable. Fruity aftertaste - not what you expect from a stout, but nice! (And the beer is vegan - as if I cared!)

Lighter amber, clear; white head gone in seconds. Herbal, sweet nose, musty as mannah or suchlike. Sweet, spicey taste with faint gingeraroma, sugary but not cloying. Rather full-bodied, in the way of worts. And that's the impression this beer gives: like partly fermented beer. Not very impressive.
