Don’t understand why people drink this - flavourless and too flat - Reminds me of saliva for some reason.

Draught. Dark amber ale with creamy head. Nose of toffee, malt and brown sugar. Smooth and rounded mouthfeel. Not as deep as it looks, but satisfying enough. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Straight out of bottle. Should try this out of a glass or from tap. Red. Some fruits, creamy, sweet. Could use some more taste. Better when warmed up. Going to try this one again very soon.
