Bottle from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham. Near black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Aroma of coffee and slightly sweet, dark fruits. A bit thin in the mouth, with toasty malts, a touch of liquorice and relatively gentle finish. Fine.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - deep amber with a decent head. Nose - loads of toffee and biscuits. Taste - predominantly toffee and it’s really intense. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - great for the low ABV.

Cask at the London Fields taproom. Pours clear amber-gold with a creamy, off-white head. The nose has leaves, grainy bread, old toffee. Medium sweet flavor with light mold, wet earth, stale bread, muddy leaves. Light bodied with soft carbonation; served room temperature. Finishes with more moldy leaves, grainy bread, toasted sugars. A bit rubbish.

Update: I understand that this beer has moved from Grainstore in Rutland to its original home in Northampton. The beer I had tonight was a considerable improvement. Hay, honey and orange peel in the aroma, with a balanced sweet taste. ---- Cask @ Rose & Crown, Yardley Hastings, 18.12.13. Mid gold. Persistent medium head. Weird but not unpleasant aroma of golden syrup and cardboard. Slight grassy hop notes. Syrupy sweet on initial taste, then bitter/sour with a mixed finish. Bitter aftertaste. So-so. Fuller mouthfeel than most real ales, Overall, drinkable but not particularly impressive and no more an IPA than my cheese sandwich.
