Bottle, purchased @Utobeer Market Stall, London. Body is reddish amber, slightly hazed. One finger of dense sand-colored foam on top. Fruity, red berry-ish aroma. some fine caramel tones, too, and hint of earthy hops. Medium malt body. Dryish, toasted, light peppery. Firm and clean bitterness. Fruit tones underneath. Lingering bitterness in balanced malty/fruity finish. A tasty, complex and well-crafted ale. Yum!

Cask, Derby Winter Fest 2012.  Hazy amber brown with a thin foam. Aromas are stewed pear with chocolate and melon. Grapefruit with toffee and mixed spices. Woody with rye bread yeastiness. Flavours are raisins, mellow grapefruit with spices and some nuttiness. Toffee and caramel sweet malts with a nutty, earthy, dry finish. Good.

On gravity at the brewery open day. Pecan pie and caramel on the nose, leading into a peppery, nutty, sweetish body with a good alcohol bite and a hint of apple. The finish is dry.
