April 2015. Cask half pint at the Jack Fairman (JDW), Horley. Deep golden to copper colour, small white head. Moderate aroma, malty with hints of toffee and a little fruit. The flavour is malty but not sweet, with a slight but pleasant tingling fruity sensation on the tongue.

Hand-pulled pint on 6th September 2024 in the Telford Town Centre Wetherspoons. When ever I go into a 'spoons' I ignore this beer thinking I've rated it years ago, on this day however I checked and to my dismay discovered I had in fact not done so (even though I know I've had it before). Clean amber body, off-white crown and only £1.79 a pint. It has a slight bitter taste with a caramel sweetness in the background. Not bad at all, certainly no negative thoughts from me, maybe a bit thin, but it's a 3.7% cooking bitter after all.

50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Lidl Culemborg. Clear copper color with a white head. Biscuity and caramel aroma. Sweet taste with a nice bitter finish. Really tasty for a 3.7% ABV ale. Great stuff.
