330ml bottle, thanks Mike for getting hold of this. Pitch black pour with a meagre amount of bubbles atop. A bit lifeless in the glass, but bears a nice palate-coating chocolate and bourbon character.. cakey hints.. easy-drinking for strength. Here's to 15 more years of Monty's 🍻

Golden amber with a big frothy off white head and sweet malt and marmalade on the nose. Medium bodied, sweet, malty and fruity with a slug of warming alcohol, just a hint of spicy fruit cake and a slightly dry finish

Cask @ Cromwell's Tap House. Pours a hazed amber, off-white head. Aroma is general amber malt, perhaps a gentle hop sweetness. Flavour profile brings a very mild but noticeable hop influence, giving a nod towards it's Red IPA aspirations but not quite getting there. It's a malt-led beer at heart, with a firm bitterness, but falls a little short of the mark.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of malts. In the mouth it is basically sweet, but with a slight underlying bitterness. Flavour has malts and honey with some grains and hints of corn, ginger and spices. After a while you realise it is quite watery though. There is a dry finish. It’s reasonable.

33cl bottle, courtesy of SarkyNorthener, pours with a nice deep dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate heading quickly to milk chocolate and then thin ribbons of dark roasted malts and spicy black licorice. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of dark chocolate, dark roasted malts and some softer milk chocolate. To midway it picks up a wafer thin layer of sweet dark fruity esters and a bit of spicy black licorice. This is smooth with the right amount of depth and richness. Solid offering.

500ml bottle from, I think, Appleyard's. Pours a deep russet brown, good off-white head. Aroma is centred around lightly caramelised amber malt. Flavour profile presents pleasant toffee shades alongside soft crystal malt and nutty brown bread. Would accompany Christmas dinner well I think.
