Bottle at Sourced Market, St Pancras. Clear orange amber colour thin beige head. Some sweet malt on the aroma. OK sweetish lager. Yep, some toffee. Quite simple and not very complicated, but drinkable enough. Bit empty.

Bottle shared by maniac. Pours clear amber with a medium, fizzy beige head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma and flavor are biscuit, toast, caramel, earthy hops, dates, and brown sugar. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth with a sweet finish.

Dark red appearance, with a pleasent nose of sweet apples and malts with a light hop note as well. A regular, slightly pale and earthy flavor, with a good body. Can’t say much... a good summer beer for some porch-sittin’

Pours deep coppery with an attractive 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, brown sugar, slight hops, some honey, and some cabernet and almonds. Tastes caramel malty up front, not too sweet, with some nutty and vinous fruit notes and some backup hops. I’d call this one good but not great.

Bottled. Poured a clear lighter orange with a short fizzy cap of beige head. The aroma found caramel sweetness along with dried fruits.. rather weak. Flavor was rather bland with semi-sweet caramel and some lighter fruits at the base along with a mild earthy bitterness.. very faint hit of citrus on the tip of the tongue and in fleeting moments on the finish. Decent amount of carbonation and a dry feel to it. Rather blah, but certainly drinkable.

12 ounce bottle shared by maniac at the 14th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 3/19/11. Pours a clear amber-copper color with a medium creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of tart fruity notes and faint caramel malts. The taste is caramel, faint fruity notes and a bit of butter. Medium bodied.
