Bottled, filtered 500ml from Tesco, Ivybridge, Devon. Chestnut with white head. Hefty, full bodied malty beer, full of burnt sugars, toffee, caramel. Some bitterness, but not big hop motes, this is about darker roasted malt.

Bottle, 500ml. A deep copper colour with almost no head. Aroma of biscuity malt. Taste is quite sweet with plenty of toasted malt and hints of honey and citric hops. Slightly bitter. Moderate carbonation. Quite drinkable.

Many bottles consumed at a friend’s wedding. Deep amber brown beer with a thin white head. Orange peel, leafy tobacco and soft chewy fruity malts. Quite earthy with a lot of medium caramel and some light dustiness. Nice lean bitterness on the back. Not very fruity at all, but there is a lingering deep rich maltiness with a touch of soft toasty sweetness. Really solid brew.

Bottled. Deep amber. Small off-white head. Aroma from dark toffee and some sweet berries. Slightly vinous with sweet, dried frutis in the flavour.
