Nutty, malt-forward aroma is fresh and clean. Clear chestnut brown body with some caramel-gold highlights is topped by low but lasting tan head. Bitterness is strong up front and resurges in the finish with nutty and caramel malts in between. Light-medium body with lively effervescence. Cask sampled at GBBF 2005.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma contains notes of caramel and nuts. While the flavor is sweet with notes of nuts as well as light hoppy notes in the end, making it dry. Nice one.

Brownish bitter with slight traces of toasted toffee.The hops linger well and their is a slight nuttiness. Quite a pleasant example of this style.
