The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness and a beer to warm you through as the winter nights draw in.

Not exactly the ruddy or rich-ruby appearance you’d expect, though there is a nice tinge of red/orange mixed in with the medium-brown hue. Fairly vapid vapours of malt, corn syrup and cherry escape the glass – nothing special. Based on the subdued aroma, the flavour is a nice surprise: cherry, chocolate, and a good, solid dose of bitterness. The gritty texture is also quite pleasant. Starts slow, ends well.

From hand pump at The Alex in Derby. A mid brown coloured beer served with a sparkler. Particularly malty with a strong creamy head. At £2.30 a pint for 4.5% a reasonable purchase. Though a tad to malty for my taste

[CASK: Ra!n Bar, Manchester 02/12/06] A good autumn ale that is more of a winterish ale I thought. A rich ruby ale with a pleasant finish of good flavour. Worth a try.
