Rocky white head left a froth on a hazy golden coloured body. Malt, resinous & jam aroma. Medium to full, lively on the tongue with a smooth back & clean aft. Strawberry jam, honey, grape & syrup tastes with nicely hopped finish. Far too easy to drink - Deece.

440ml can from the Tip Inn, Loscoe. Very dark brown, opaque with a little bit of khaki head. Aroma of burnt black malt and some molasses. Sweet taste, more molasses here, with the lightest of fightback with hoppy bitterness. It's subtle, but there's so much going on here. A wonderful example of the style.
