Cask at a pub in Brecon Beacons. It pours clear brown with a thick, creamy white head. The aroma is earthy, brown bread, wood, wet cardboard, leather and toasted nut. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, earthy, wood, leather, brown bread, grainy and cereal with a drying finish. Lighter end of medium body and fine carbonation. A pretty okish bitter. Good condition helps it along.

500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear chestnut brown colour with a short-lived frothy off white head. The aroma is big malt, light fruit, nutty, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a smooth, rich, sweet malt, light floral, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A solid session bitter.

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. An attractive dark copper colour with a loose cream head; caramel aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a sweet caramel taste, and a light woody bitterness leaving a fruity finish. Pleasant enough, but needing more weight.

500ml bottle from my local Aldi; BBE Aug 19. Drank at home on 15th Sep 18. Looked good, deep amber with an off-white head. Malty and fruity nose, taste also malty with a gentle sweetness, decent hop content keeps the sweetness in check to give a slightly bitter finish.

Bottle at home. Wow, that is a sweet beer! I would classify this as a very old school mild and it really wasn't my thing. Good mouthfeel, but the sweetness was too much,

50cl bottle from Aldi. Almost no head. Very low carbonation. Clear amber pour. Malty aftertaste. Not their best beer

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. A reddish amber pour with a billowing beige head; aromas of purple fruit; sweet caramel malt taste with some musty fruit; and a light earthy bitterness. Reminded me of a watered down version of Hobgoblin. Unexciting.
