Jan 25, 2008 One that I had forgotten-- found again while re-arranging my fridge in preparation for some new additions to my beloved hoard. Amber brown (somewhere between Trad and Hog) with an eggshell head that demonstrates surprising retention as a thin cap. Pleasing toffee aroma. Flavour of sponge toffee and mild bitter hops. Actually quite good!
