A brownish bitter with a medium sized head on pouring.More like a bitter tasting mild or brown ale than a bitter.Quite pleasant for one of those beers that you often see on the shelf at ASDA but ignore.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Asda, Minworth, West Mids. Copper with a big fluffy head. Gently tasty fudge aroma. Sweet and fairly tasty Bitter. Nice in the mouth: plenty plenty of toffee, cocoa and similar notes. Quite like an Amber Ale really, with some bitterness creeping into the the finish; although the dessert qualities are my overriding memory. Didn’t blow my mind.

Bottled. Clear, clean, amber body, with a lacy white head. Nice and hoppy with stronger aromas/flavours lurking around there as well. Good bitter hop kick to it. Slightly feral in a way.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bready malt and loads of dry fruit aroma. Plenty of hops to balance the sweetness. Odd flavour/sensation that I couldnt place. Not bad, the second bottle went very well with roasted chestnuts and brie.
