50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy and deep amber with a lacing off-white head. Fruity and malt driven aroma. Flavour is roasted malt with a light acidic touch and a light toffee malt note. Fruity and bitter hoppy flavours following before a more breadish malt flavour re-conquers the palate. Ends medium dry and bitter. Nice and light malt spice English ale.

Bottled. Dark copper coloured mediumsized brown thick creamy head. Strong malty nose with hints of caramel and cookies as well as a bit of roast. Strong roasted malt in flavour along with some hops in finish. Caramellish hints also there as well as weak plummyness. Quite pleasant, but the roastflavour is a bit too aggressive.

Nut brown. Nice hoppy aroma. Sweet, medium bodied, somewhat roasty. Bitter finish. A lovely, well balanced winter ale.

Bottled. Clear orange coloured with a medium sized off white head. Aroma of caramel, butterscotsch, malts and fruits. Flavour of caramel and hops. Long hoppy finish.

Amber color; very poor head. Poor aroma, just brown sugar and caramel. Caramel taste, reasonable body structure, a bit malty, strongly hopped (not aromatic), but no complexity at all.
