[50cl bottle bought at Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire.] A bright amber pour; well carbonated, with a fast fading off-white head; caramel malt aroma; rich malty taste with some orchard fruit and a touch of farmyard; then a sweet finish with some tart apple. A decent farmhouse style ale.

Can from somewhere. Great pour and a huge nose of rich liquorice. It was gorgeous. The taste is all rich malts and coffee and more than a bit of savoury. This is not pastry stout nonsense, this is a proper real ale taken to the next level by something special. The mouthfeel just goes on and on. This is stunning.

Day 3 of my homemade advent calendar. Great pour with a good and long lasting head. Huge rich malt that was well balanced with the alcohol. Very English and all the better for that.
