Bottle at home. As 4.8 % ABV. Pours a clear mahogany colour with a beige head. Sweet aroma of fudge, dried peaches, oatmeal biscuits and some dry grass in the background. Flavour of dried fruit, bread crust, fudge and grass. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light to medium bitterness. Sweet and malty.

Bottle. Nice amber, red color, not much head or lace. Aroma is that of malt, hay, cereal. Taste, nice flavor. Malt cereal, with a slight sweetness thatโs just right. Good stuff. Would drink again.

Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket in the coastal resort of Cromer. Enjoyed in the countryside just outside the town. Very dark red with a small head. It's a fair addition to this family of ales, and is stated enough in its light roasted notes, allowing some sweetness through. Perhaps its easy drinking nature is its best feature.

Bottle at home. A remarkably good pour, but that tell tale aroma of raw malt. This is an old school AF beer, all malt and not much else. Best avoided

Creamy tan head stayed on a a near black coloured body.
Malt & English hop aroma.
Medium bodied, creamy with a clean back.
Malt, liquorice, toffee & fruity berry tastes with a tangy finish.
Looks like a Stout, tastes like an ESB but refreshing & decent to drink.
