An interesting bottle. Pours light copper and it has a small white head. Aromas of fruit and caramel with hints of cereal. A light and creamy body with a slightly metallic taste mixed with notes of malt. Negligible bitter finish, but it has a sweet malty aftertaste once the minor hoppyness has quietened.

Bottle @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
Pours deep copper with a small, creamy, off-white, film head. Aroma has some herbal hoppiness, some light spice and good caramel malty backbone. Fine, elegant creaminess in mouthfeel. Flavour is okay as well. Some dry hoppiness, caramel and herbs. Fine beer.

Cask, 4.2% at GBBF08. Hazy dark copper colour. Mild flavour, quite malty, slightly spicy.

Bottle, just past ’best before’ date. Poured mahoganny brown with a small head that lasted throughout. Flavour primarily malty but with some bitterness and a hint of woodiness in the swallow. A very acceptable beer.

Cask@GBBF2008. Ambery golden colour, not much head. Aroma is caramel malts, rubber and some yeast. Flavour is fruity hops, very sweet nectary notes as well as some wooden notes.
