Cask at GBBF 2010. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt and caramel as well as hints of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of roasted malt, leading to a dry roasted finish.

5ocl bottle. Pours copper with steady bubbles and a good head. The nose has caramel and pine. The taste has ginger biscuits and All-bran. The palate has a medium body, a reasonable texture but the finish is a little too drying and dare I say, astringent, for my liking. Overall, I would have liked more fruitiness if this is a red ale.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, dark amber beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is bready and hoppy, with pine cones and grass. Some alcohol notes and a touch of blackcurrant and dried fruits. It’s full-bodied and too carbonated on the palate. Dry. The flavor has caramel, bread, some dark berries, bitterness and a piney hop flavor. Lasting finish. Overall, a decent one, but nothing more. 110318

50cl bottle from the Hop Back Brewery shop. Reddish gold with a fading white head; earthy malt aroma; lightly bodied with red fruit flavours, some toffee and roasted malts; the finish is clean with some grassy hops. Rather bland and ordinary.
