Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
"Beers for bottling are drawn from brewery conditioning tanks and transported by road tanker to our bottlers. There they are chilled, stored for ten days, then filtered and bottled. At the end of the bottling process, the bottles are pasteurised, labelled and packed."
"With it's distinctive roast malt, Golding hops and banana fruit aromas, Riggwelter has a strong and refreshingly dry finish of hops and roasted barley malt."

Dark amber with an off-white head. Roasted malts dominate the aroma. Smooth amd seet on the palate with a dry finish. I enjoyed this one, but it’s missing just a little something.

Drak brown with a low head. Malty aroma with lotøs of berries and earth. The flavour starts out sweet with notes of caramel and cafe latte and goes into a grassy hop ending.

Had an aroma of coffee, chocolate and malt. It was a mahogany colour with a small white head. Had a strong malty taste mixed with treacle it was slightly fizzy in the mouth.

Taste 7/8 Bottle. Looks: Brown/black cherry with nice lacing cream head. Aroma: 1st grain. 2nd yeast/must/sour. 3rd sugar caramel. Taste: Medium bodied, nice sour and malt flavor. Tastes like Sammy Smith wants to taste. Chocolate, roasted malt. Toasted. Creamy and quite yeasty.

Amber-Ruby. Big creamy head. Aroma: Roasted malt, fruits. Flavor: Fruits, burnt malts. Burnt finish. OVERRATED! Perhaps I got a bad bottle but it was more than "roasted", it was the most burnt beer I have ever had.
