Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Brown with a small head. Has plenty of coffee and chocolate in both aroma and taste. There's nothing sweet about this, is a tad dry, but very good nevertheless.

Rocky white head left a creamy cover on a pale copper coloured body. Malt, bitter & biscuit aroma - Proper Old School. Medium bodied, smooth with a crisp back. Malt, digestive, toffee & berry tastes with a bitter lightly hopped finish. Well Balanced - Contrary to popular I think that's a decent Ale.

Bottle. Nose is immediately too bright: smells of coffee Syrup/ flavourings with slight buried earth and caramel ice cream. A check of the bottle confirms flavourings are added. Taste is coffee Syrup caramel and brown sugar. A glass of syrup. Very poor
