Bottle from Marshall Farm Shop. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty, earthy, sappy, treacle, dried fruits, raisin, sultana and toasted fruit cake. The taste is bone dry, earthy, bitter, resinous, toasted brown bread, charred, burnt treacle, leather, toothy, coffee grounds and a touch of spice with a toasty finish. Average body and fairly high, foamy carbonation. Perhaps could be a less dry and more sweet to balance it out a bit (not something I usually say!). Alright.

Bottle from Marshall's Farmshop. It pours clear amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is earthy, sappy, woody, brown bread, herbal, spicy, nutty and a hint of lemonade. The taste is firmly dry, spicy bitterness, floral, grassy, woody, sappy, earthy, brown bread and some nuttiness with a drying finish. Medium body and fairly high, foamy carbonation. A bit old school, but drinkable enough.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - brown with an edge of amber. Fluffy, beige head. Nose - tinned orange, even marmalade and brown bread. Taste - toffee and brown bread. Still orange lurking. Palate - medium bodied, creamy, sweet and a little chewy. Overall - good if not quite an amber ale, as would put it into Scottish Ale or Brown Ale.
