UPDATED: APR 1, 2012 Cask in a pub off the Kings Road. Darkish ruby coloured ale, flavours are malt and fruit cake. Not especially hoppy. Finish is medium. Smooth and enjoyable, if not exceptional. Rerated the very next day, with the temperature outside a good 10 degrees lower - a very nice warming pint.

Ruby red with beige head. Aroma is a bit of cherry, fruity, malty, both vaguely so. Taste is marzipan and cherry, bit of malt and fruit again. Quite flat and a bit thin. Nothing very exciting.
