500ml bottle at home. Black pour, thin tan head. Kind of blackcurrant and liquorice aromas, hints of coffee and ash. Taste continues this theme, erring towards the sweet. Medium body, slightly thin texture, soft carbonation. Ends up roasted bitter. Not bad, but not great either.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear gold, no head. Slightly higher carbonation than the Ale of Leven, but only slightly. Lemon, hay and butterscotch aromas. Taste has light lemon bitterness, light sweetness. Thin and easy drinking. OK.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear amber with no head. Cask-style carbonation. Aromas of cereal and toffee. Taste is sweet with the merest tickle of hop bitterness. Quite thin, sweet finish.

500ml bottle shared with jeevan. Clear golden pour, thin white head. Cereal and malt aromas, light lemon/herbal hops if you concentrate. Taste is neither here nor there, but decent enough quaffing bitter.

Just found this old tasting note from the Stockbridge Tap a couple of months ago. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - spice & biscuits. Taste - more spicy biscuits, with resin on the finish. Palate - medium bodied, quite crunchy in texture, balanced finish. Overall - yes, enjoyed this.
