Draught, deep brown colour with some red streaks. Aroma of malt, taste is made of fruit and caramel sweetness intermingled with a strong bitterness which is not over the top. Body is quite full. Nice medium long, sweet and sour finish. good beer to linger on.

Amber colour, white head. Nose of caramel malts. Flavour has caramel malts and brown sugar. Nice sweet-bitterness to end with. This is a decent bitter.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into large dimpled mug Aroma - Full caramel malt aroma with a hint of nuts and tea Appearance - CopperAmber in color with a quickly diminishing 1 finger off-white head. Flavor - Sweet,caramel malt, roasted malt and a mild nutty flavor. Light on the hops. Palate - Medium mouthfeel. A bit slick,light on the carbonation. Overall - This is very similar to an Irish ale but with emphasis on malt instead of hops. Very drinkable. Would love to find an establishment that has this on tap

Nitro @ Green Dragon... Poured copper-red with a thick, white head. Aroma had sweet, leafy malt and was very candy-like, maybe some apricot notes in there too. Silky and creamy palate and was served chillingly cold. Flavors of leafy hops with malt and floral fruit notes. Finished with subtle hops and cracker-like or cereal grains.

Draught at the Flying Saucer. Deep copper color, thick head, creamy feel, buttery flavor hint of spice. Finishes clear and smooth. Could drink several of these and still want more.

Draught can. Pours a deep amber with a thick and tall nitro head. Aromas of apple juice concentrate, caramel, cream/vanilla and a touch of floral hops. Flavor is a nice mix of the above with an almost peat like bitterness to it that then gives way back to the floral/fruity sweetness. Finishes with a creamy sweetness.
