Bottle from Blas y Frwyd, Llanrwst. Hazy amber. Frothy foamy off-white head. Quite attractive. Aroma has citrus and rye and (associated) spice. Flavourwise it gains elements. Citrus, rye, spice, yeah. Plus caramel and a floral element. But overall we have a spicy rye core. Light-medium bodoes. Slick to oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. This just hits the spot with all I love about a rye inclusive ale. (Probably no rye in it.)

Old rating - A 500ml bottle brought back from my South Wales trip. Pours a deep black colour with a creme head. Aromas of caramel & malt. Tastes of caramel, toffee, coffee & malt with a dry bitter finish. Very good porter.

A pint from the cask at the Stackpole Inn. Redish in colour with a white foamy head. Tastes mostly of malt with some pine. Very enjoyable.
