COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This one is a dark little number who can really pack a punch. She’s bursting with flavour and lashings of taste, yet retains a smooth finish that will warm even the most frozen of your cockles. She is normally only available during the winter but has proved to be a popular little number so we have kept her on for the summer.

Leighton (4097) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 7, 2011
Bottle at home in London. Pours a clear, light brown with a wimpy, white head. Some toasted malts, wood and berries in the nose. Flavor is lightly sweet with a weak but pleasant malt base, with notes of dough, toast and dry leaves. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finish is easy malts, faint tang and berries, a bit more bread. Pretty light for a dunkel. Not terrible.
