Bottle from Inn At Home, Guildford. Malty caramel and hay. Herbs and a veg edge then come through. An opaque medium brown. Creamy off-white head. Surprisingly light - some sweetness followed by maltyness that builds in strength. Light bitter finish. I guess there’s also a house hint of alcohol in the finish. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Muted finish. Hmm, not sure what to make of it. A very polite English Strong Ale, but then it is from Guildford! Drinkable. Enjoyable. Low impact.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest, 13/04/17. Sweet malty aroma. Bright amber. Thin white head. Light sweet. Caramel. A touch of malts/umami. Light bodied. Slick mouthfeel. Restrained carbonation and a relatively abrupt finish. Refreshing enough but as a whole it insubstantial. Forgotten as soon as the glass has been drained.

Bottle at home. Bought at Inn At Home, Guildford. Sweet aroma - reminds me of cheap chocolate and mocha. Dark and glossy appearance. Loses a point for the rapid retreat of the beige head. Sweet with a bitter finish - somewhat subdued. Getting malts, coffee berries and some chocolate but not much impact. Smooth bodied. Soft mouthfeel. Dry finish. Goes down well but only the bitter finish has any vigour.
