Bottled. Ruby, brief head. Aroma of toffee with a hint of red currant. Fairly sweet with soothing creamy mouthfeel and medium body. The flavours are wrapped in layers of soft cotton, creating a pleasant, but one-dimensional beer.

(12oz bottle) Crystal clear amber body topped by a small and swiftly disappearing off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel/toffee, vanilla, evoking candy corns. Taste is the same, with a mild astringency in the finish. Watery light-medium body with a light acidity.

Bottle. Orange colour with a off-white head. malty, fruity, light hoppy aroma and a sweet malty, fruity, hoppy taste. Medium body and a sweet light dry finish.

Draught, Half Time. Clear auburn. Kinda bold sweet, earthy and phenolic nose. Not at all the clear refreshing beer I was expecting. Moreso a malty, bready, chocolatey and cadyish hard to describe flavour with off-notes reminiscent of cat litter, cheap perfume and yogurt. Vast array of flavours globally, but not tight, not well displayed. Mostly thin body, sweetish, butterscotchy and fatiguing ultimately.
