500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers mate!]. Very nice, clear, ruby-chestnut colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Mellow, minimally nuttily malty and slightly leafy, minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, cautious hints of red berries, plum, cherry, a touch of hazelnut. Taste is mellow malty, minimally nutty, slightly fruity and minimally leafy hoppy, hints of red berries, a touch of plum and cherry, hazelnut. Creamy texture, smooth and super-soft palate, fine and gentle carbonation. Well crafted.

21/3/2020. Bottle from Darts Farm near Topsham, Devon. 4.3% abv. Pours dark chestnut brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of fruit, malt, bread, caramel and nut. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and body. Not bad, nothing special either.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol February 2015. Deep amber in colour with a frothy, off-white, head. Fairly standard, quite malty bitter, with a touch of fruit and short finish. Ok.
