500ml bottle, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 29th June 2015. Light amber body, clear and clean looking: the head a full cream coloured affair. Malty and fairly sweet with caramel notes to be found in both the aroma and taste. There is a semi-bitter bite to the flavouring and the body is deep for the alcohol level. I liked it, could easily had another bottle or two: taken with some German Peppered Salami, mixed Olives, a few salt biscuits and a spoonful of Branston Pickle: heaven on earth a spread like that with a good beer!

On gravity at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider festival, 6/6/2013. Reddish amber with a slight, off-white head. Malty brew with a touch of caramel, berry fruits and touch of spice in the finish. Good.
