Dark shiney auburn colour with very little fizzy white head. The nose is tinny and sweet with malt. Some alcohol gets through in the nose as well. The body is smooth and surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be. Hops at the beginning are pleasantly bitter but there isn’t enough malt happening to make this interesting. This is a very drinkable beer, but just not inspirational.

Sep 28, 2008 Reddish copper hue. Lots of fruit and sweetness. Plums and sultanas against abit of chewy grip. Respectable ale.

Sep 24, 2008 Not as nice in a bottle as i remember from on Tap, a bit dark tasting and heavy going too. Not amazing.

Sep 20, 2008 Amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is nicely malty with a sweet light caramel, toffee and a rich sweetness. A lovely spicy/earthy base. Quite a nice balance with a soft fruity finish. A touch of apple/pear esters and some lightly toasted malts. Lovely and rich. Spicy and fruity. Quite nice for a bottled bitter.
