500ml bottle. Pours amber with a small head that went quick. Aroma is skunky and toffee malt. Taste is toffee to start, skunky hop finish. Bit thin in the mouth. Stupid clear bottles.

@ Bunch O’ Grapes, Caerdydd. Amber, bright. The aroma is primarily of caramel. Bland, caramelly character. Quite a boring pint.

Cask at Jdw at Birmingham airport. Aroma is dried fruit and some bready malt. Taste is some bread, some faint apples with a yeasty bitter finish. A little watery. Not the best session bitter.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours clear copper with a foamy off-white head. Aromas of mild caramel and floral hops. Medium body with very mild carbonation. Flavor is caramel and floral hop. It develops that little rear of the tongue malty thing and then finishes very well balanced. It is so English. Oh. Yeah. Great stuff.

Pours a copper-amber colour with a nice head. This one is foamy at first, but the top changes creamy a few seconds after the pour. Steady retention and bubbles form around the glass. Good strong aromas of molasse, maple syrup and hop. Taste is nice and powerful. Some fruit mixed in with some caramel. The bold bitterness of the hop kicks in a notch more in the finish and smooth out in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is creamy. A great bitter ale.

cask at No. 2 Baker’s Street in Stirling - Pours amber and has a light aroma of caramel malt. The flavor is caramel malt sweetness with light bitterness. It’s smooth and overall a decent quaff.

Skunked caramel and cherry nose. Clear amber, thin yellowish head. Hay, dried leaves, and toffee flavor, relatively harsh mouthfeel for the style. Probably not the freshest sample, but still tasty.
