Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Many thanks to Colin for bringing me this one. Pours clear brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose has plenty of toasty brown bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with notes of toffee, further brown bread, subtle earthy bitterness. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish with more toasty bread. Easy drinking and pretty simple.
