Serviceable. Malty and sweet, some semi-dark fruits, toasted biscuits and crackers, mild leafy hop. Bready, brown bread, whole grains. Basic but drinkable enough.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a cloudy amber with moderate sized off white head. Aroma of toffee, doughy bread, sprinkle of raisins. Taste is malty with the doughy bread coming through, toffee, sweet and moderate bitter finish, touch of spice. It's ok

Bottle at me parents. From Lidl or Aldi. Aroma has full on chestnut and malts. Slightly syrupy. Clear brown. Foamy off-white head. Flavour has chestnuts - nutty as it were- but also a syrupy sweetness. Malts. Bitter woody edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Hits the spot. Should have added as a Flavored beer rather than a Bitter.

Bottle from Homesense, Manchester. Golden with a small head. Strong tasting with a mild dryness to its texture. Pretty good in style as niche lager, although not overly blessed in the flavour department.
