Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. A deeply unoriginal name for a beer judging by the plethora on here. Dark burnt orange pour with the merest of tan cuffs. Sweet malts, dark fruits and a hint of spice in the nose and flavour. Slightly warming booze. Sweet, dryish bitter finish. Drinkable but uninspiring.

Cask at NWAF, 2011. Reddish brown pour, no head. Caramel, raisins, dark fruits and plum aromas. Damsons, prunes and a little light chocolate flavour. Malty, sweet finish.

Cask Handpump at the Crown Inn, Stockport 22/12/2007 Rich aroma. Amber bronze coloured fruity and strong in alcohol with a crisp and dry slightly bitter lasting malt finish.

Cask, Derby Winter Fest 09. Amber brown with an off-white foam. Aromas are chocolate and toffee with grapefruit. Spicy with evident alcohol. Flavours are grapefruit with a fair degree of acidity. Some sweet malts with a light finish.

Cask@Derby Winter Beer Festival, 2009. Sharp amber looking beer with a malty and mildly vinous aroma. The flavour is quite sugary sweet and malty. Overall an average beer that is too sweet for my palate.

Cask @ Smithfield hotel in Manchester. Clear dark amber colored beer with a small white head. Slightly roasted aroma. Sweet flavor. An overloading amount of caramel. Full bodied.

Cask (gravity) @ The National Winter Ales Festival 2008, Manchester, UK. Clear medium amber orange color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, fruity, moderate hoppy, apple. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (180108)
