Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Morrisons, Banbury. Copper colour with white head. Big fruity aroma leading to a rich fruity body, redcurrants and cherry come to mind. There is a graininess to the malt, I would think that there is a very pale malt in with the darker roasted chocolate malt. Not much on the hop side though, there is a winey note in the finish with an off putting acidity. Reasonable for a UK BCA though.

Feb 23, 2008 Bottle from, guess.... Aroma is rich malts, biscuity, nutty and toffee character. Taste is similar, quite nutty and almost completly dominated by malt, tasty stuff.

Nov 28, 2007 BCA. Unexceptional but reasonably tasty beer. Rounded body, toffeish malts and drying dusty hops. Slight background acidity is a touch out of place.

Jun 21, 2007 500ml bottle. Copper coloured with a decent off-white head. Aroma of red fruit and barley sugar. Flavours of more fruit, biscuity malt. Finish was long and bitter. very good.

Jun 10, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a good amber colour with little head. The aroma is fruity and also reminded me of candyfloss (!) but the flavour is a good balance of malt and hops followed by a lingering bitterness. Overall a good solid bottle-conditioned ale.
