Bottle split at LKS Heights, thanks to Danny, 03/08/15. Rich copper with a decent beige covering that soon collapses. Nose is caramel, toffee, vanilla, bread pudding. Taste comprises rich fruit cake, raisens, dates, spice, toffee. Medium + body, fine carbonation, sweetish licks in the close. Decent strong, masks the ABV well.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Lightly hazy amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry. Reasonable fine carbonation. Sweetish toffee - caramel malts. Mild banana esters. Little spice. Back end brings plenty of ripe and bruised fruits. Light semi dry finish. It hangs together well and is pretty tasty.

Bottle from Darts Farm. Chestnut-brown colour, mid-sized fluffy white head. Delicious malty flavours dominate in the beginning, with fruity hints and some nuts, almost chewable. Fruity-bitter hoppy flavours tune in towards the lingering finish. Delicious!

On cask at the Green Dragon. Appearance - amber with a proportionate head. Nose - biscuits, light toffee and a little citrus. Taste - loads more biscuits and a citrus edge again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yeah, enjoyed this.
