Bottle from the Food shop in Dartington. Appearance - deep copper with a generous fluffy head. Nose - caramel, wet dishcloth and some brown bread. Taste - caramel, biscuit and malt bag. Palate - light to medium bodied. Roasty through middle and finish. Very dry but falls short of being astringent, thankfully. Overall - could be a bit more exciting.

500ml bottle; BBE Jan 2020. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio on 27th June 2019. Clear golden/amber body, white crown. Aroma and taste were both caramel forward in nature and the whole brew is sweet with very little bitterness. My sweet tooth liked it though.

[Cask at the festival at the Bull, Barkham.] An amber pour with a ring of white head; bittersweet caramel aroma; soft caramel taste with a malty body; then a drier finish with a smooth silky mouthfeel. Rather like a Marzen.

Keg at Royal Seven Stars Hotel, Totnes. Nil aroma. Light gold. The white head just sticks to the edges. Low key taste: citrus sourness. Umami undercurrent. Light bodied. Slicks. Flat carbonation. Dry finish. Understated. Or bland. Slips slips without leaving a mark.

Hand-pulled cask half-pint on 13th Nov 2018 in The White Ball Inn, Tiverton Devon. Dark body, almost mahogany in colour, cream coloured head that lasted and gave some heavy lacing. Malty number, with a dark chocolate feel and a light orange twist in the taste.
