Mar 23, 2009 I have always liked this beer. It was one of the first non mass produced beers to arrive in my little populated area. Pours brown with a nice tan head. Nice aroma of malt with some roasted charactor in it. Taste is of malt and roasted barley. Easy to drink and tasty as I have always remembered it.

Mar 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours copper with thick beige head. Mild bready aroma is nothing special but nice. Sturdy mouthfeel. Clean, bready, quaffable, nice. Nutty and brown, nothing not to like.

Mar 18, 2009 A sickly-sweet brown ale from one of England’s more widely-available brewers. Each to their own, but the residual sugar content here seems too high for the style IMO. Nice looking for a bottled ale, if a tad excitable. Gushed all over the kitchen bench upon opening. Clear piano-brown in colour with fair head retention. Figgy aroma - mainly dark, sticky fruit with some licorice, Seltzer, ginger root and a bit of sour apple. Quite a syrupy mouthfeel after an initial fizz. Tastes of dates, hazelnuts, ginger, marzipan and maple syrup but it’s too sweet for my palate. Quite a hot finish for a 5% abv ale. Some clove in the wash-up. Couldn’t drink more than one of these and ideally none at all. (550ml bottle from Randwick Cellars. BB Oct 08)
