Aug 17, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF.
Golden brown with good white head. Huge bready malt with lots of toffee and burnt sugar. Odd milky notes. Almost diacetyl in finish but I’ll call it caramel. Not great and not nearly enough hoppage.

Aug 14, 2008 12oz brown bottle from the Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours an amber-yellow clear body with a half inch of off-white head that slowly dissipates. Smells biscuity with some diacetyl/butterscotch. Tastes like caramel and biscuit, with husky and butterscotchy notes toward the finish. Overall flavor is somewhat muted. Light in body with moderate carbonation. Very drinkable, a solid example for the style.

Aug 8, 2008 Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cookies, caramel malts and a bit sugary. Flavour is quite much the same along with some doughy and grassy hints.

Aug 6, 2008 Odd. Something is really off with this one. Bitter and not hoppy at all. Taste is muddy. Balanced for what it is, but end is bitter. Nothing special or worth drinking again.

Aug 5, 2008 Clear golden with tiny off white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and mild hoppy notes. Flavor has toasted malt, caramel and hops. Ends bitter.
