Bottle from Dartmouth Wine Company, Dartmouth. Clear amber pour to begin with, although as the beer has been in the cellar six years the last pour made it cloudy. Nothing wrong with the brew though with a small head and fruity notes in both aroma and taste. There's a fair bitterness to proceedings with its strength providing a good body.
