Small offwhite head. Brilliant amber body with carbonation. Earthy caramelly toffee aroma with cinnamon notes. Dry-sweetish earthy caramelly toffee taste with spicy salty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dry earthy cinnamon aftertaste lingers. Traces of sandalwood, too. A bit lacking in complexity and freshness, but far from bad. (0.5l bottle, beermerchants.com.)

Cask at the Jolly Butchers on the 29th April 2011, day of the Royal Wedding. Amber with virtually no head. Lemony citrus bite and bitter kick. Touch of butterscotch but also slight saltiness. Textured mouthfeel, sweet aftertaste and a butterscotch creamy finish.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours not a perfectly clear gold with a foamy head. Some fruity hops on the nose and a bit of earth. Lightly sweet flavor, a little woody, tangerine and orange bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky finish, some grass and mild pine, a little toasty bread. Nice beer.
