Pint handpulled at Doric Arch, Euston. Creamy head over a dark brown body. Standard bitter with malty fruit aroma followed by a mild bitter flavour supported by a touch of vanilla sweetness. Light notes of malt and bitter in the finish (thanks to Anthony, 12.03.2008).

Bottle from Morrisons. Amber coloured with a minimal head. Sweet malt and red fruit aroma. Flavour had tonnes of caramel to the point of being cloying. What finish there was was reminiscent of boiled sweets. Another not so pleasant pasteurised beer.

[i] Bottle from dad picked up at Morrisons[/i] Mid amber pour, sweetness and malt are the key notes on the nose. Tasted really decent if a little sweet, good malty full bodied little number, not too much bitterness and hops whilst there were lacking slightly I felt, still I rather enjoyed this.

Bottle form Morrisons. Dark brown with ruby highlights. Almost no aroma, a hint of malt and no more. Flavour had red fruit, some caramel and a slightly sweet finish. Bottling appears to have done this beer few favours.

[i] Cask at The Crown, Charlton-On-Otmoor, Oxon, 29-07-07 [/i] Poured dark golden colour with small white head. Tasted nicely bitter, some honey sweetness, bitterness lingers for a while, nice beer but not a lot else to say about it.
