Brown 500ml bottle, best before July 2011, drank and during on of my ’random beer tasting evenings’ in April 2011. Poured into an ’Abbot Ale’ glass tankard: it was a lovely deep amber, clear and good looking, a mountanous snowy white head sat majestically on top. The head slowly sank with the beer and left some thick clingy lacing on the glass. Malts all the way with this brew, difficult to find any hop content in the smell or taste, althought it wasn’t a sweet sickly beer in any way. Almost rich in its creamy mouthfeel, it became slightly bitter towards the end of the taste, but again it didn’t seem to be a hop induced bitterness, just a drying of the mouth type.
