500ml bottle. Rich aroma of cherry and bramble; a deep ruby chestnut colour with a medium beige head; dry, nutty and fruity at the same time, with a slightly sour cherry flavour finish is dry and rather lacking in depth.

Oct 2006 from BA: I enjoyed this bottle, poured into a Gordon’s Thistle glass (twice because of the bottle size). It looked great, dark, very dark brown, with a thick light brown foaming head. Sadly the head shrank away very swiftly.
Burnt caramel and chocolate aroma, which carried on into the taste and mouthfeel. Tasted just like a good quality, strong brown ale, but without the sweetness often found in browns.
At £1.09 for the 500ml bottle, it is well worth seeking out.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Brotiger Antrunk, weich, mild. Danach unscheinbarer, nicht unbedingt harmonisch, langweilig malzig, später auch muffig. Erst im Abgang wieder frischer durch Getreidenoten, etwas röstig. Insgesamt trinkbar aber unspektakulär. 7/7/7/8/11/7

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle. Pours a murky black, with a medium off-white head, leaving quite good lace. Strong toffee and whipped cream mingle on the nose. There is an unmistakable toffee and date pudding taste to begin, with candied fruit following it and a nice citrus hop finish. A well-balanced beer, which goes down very easily, and would be a good session drinker.
