Taste is nutty toffee, definite bourbon presence, dark fruits, liquorice, light coconut action. Quality stuff but my 3rd favourite of the BA versions of Impish or Admirable.

Many thanks to Simontomlinson for this bottle. Smooth mild beginning. Easy to drink, malty and fruity, not too dry, fruity with hints of hazelnuts. Moderate bitter, nice round and malty in the end.

Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Settle. Golden with a light amber shading and a small head. Easy enough drinking with a light carbonation seemingly enhanced as its low strength lets this come to the fore. There's some mild citrus and stewed fruitiness to its hoppy character.
