500ml bottle from Spar, Llanwrst. Pours indeed a generally clear chestnut brown with a suitably off-white crown atop. Aroma is nutty, malty before the initial sip builds with some twiggy shades. Maltloaf linger that reveals itself further throughout. Pleasant brown ale, balanced bitterness, reliant mostly on the amber / brown ale malt. Lovely.

500ml bottle from Spar, Llanwrst. Pours a relatively clear gold, good white froth atop. Aroma of pale malt, grassy hop, mild grapefruit. Decent old school pale, good crisp hoppy bite without presenting too much in the way of sweet, fruity notes. Not bad.

500ml bottle @ blackhaddocks gaff. Pours a dark ruby, large beige head. Chocolatey nose. Flavour profile is all about the dark chocolate and dark malts with some sappy hints. Pleasant bitterness. Good stuff.

500ml bottle (BB September 2024) shared with minutemat on 6th November 2023 during a mega tasting at my house (Panda for Grumbo too). Lovely ruby colour, beige head that lasted. Rich dark chocolate base with some bitterness from the hop content, really pleasant beer all round.

500ml bottle from Spar, Llanwrst before hitting up the Marin. Pours a deep clear amber with a rosey hue. Frothy patch of off-white foam that dissipates somewhat. Aroma of mildly sweet malt, leafy. Taste bears a leafy bitterness with twiggy amber malt, dark fruity murmurs. Has a good Welsh-style bitterness coursing through. Decent bitter.

0,5l bottle bought in Spar, Llanrwst. BB 12/23. Dark brown color, small tan head. Smells toffee, earthy, hints of smoke, spices, bit leathery. Nice smell. Medium body, soft carbonation. Tastes earthy, leathery, peppery ashy, tobacco, some bittet chocolate, nutty. Finishes light to medium roasty bitter with notes of leather, tobacco and earthy notes. Nice one overall, rather on the bitter side with ashy and leathery notes, good stuff none the less.
