Bottle from Carringtons, Chorlton. Reddish brown coloured pour with a dissipating off white head. Sweet malts predominated in the nose and flavour, with further notes of dark fruit and grain. Lacked any real pizazz. Dried out a little towards the finish.Just about tolerable, but on the whole an average and somewhat uninspiring drink.

Pours brown with a light head. Aroma is caramel and malts. Flavor is much of the same but a bit lighter. Nice but nothing special.
