Cask, gravity, at Wellington Arms Winter Festival of Ale. Dark amber. Pleasant malty aroma. Lovely taste: sweet, ashy and fruity. Mid bitter finish. Excellent. And this was beer #1 of the day, so it must have been seriously good...

Mahogany res with a nice head. The aroma is fresh with lots of hops and malt and notes of fruit. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, light sweetness and a pronounced, dry bitterness. This beer has a interesting and good balance, that I like very much.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500 ml. Chestnut red with white bubbly head, reasonable condition. Good rich malty flavour with a caramel background and a lasting bitterness. Sharp on the close with a little floral note. Reasonable pasteurise beer.

Bottle. Red brown colour with a slim cream head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Similar for the taste with some beerry fruit and a hoppy dry finish. Pretty good.
