Bottle bought from the brewery stall at Woking Farmers Market. Aroma is fruity with both a sweetness and tart citrus. Resinous edge. Grains. Cloudy-opaque amber. Foamy translucent white head. Tangy. Citrus. It's tart. Resinous bitterness. Develops a malty streak. Marmalade. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Citrus resin and malts. Definitely old-school, if a tad unrefined.

Bottle from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Aroma is rich - malts and chocolate. Opaque cola brown. Thick foamy beige head. Sweet creamy chocolate and sweet berries. The latter provides a touch of sourness. Develops some charcoal bitterness. Medium bodied. Single cream mouthfeel. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Good stuff.
