This bitter poured a beautiful amber colour with a creamy off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include honey, malt and gravy? First swig was nice and smooth, with flavours of malt, tea, dark brown sugar and light toast. Thinner on the palate but great tasting none the less. Finish is malt with very light malt flavour lingering.
