Bottle from local Aldi. Has a faintly malty aroma and pours the classic ”bitter brown” with a small white head. Dried fruit (dates, raisins) are what hits the mouth first, with sweet malts underneath. A hint of bitterness around the edges too. Finish is more malty. A good solid traditional bitter – I’m giving it extra points for the absence of citrus !
