Nov 27, 2005 500ml bottle from Fabeers, York. I’m guessing this was pasteurised, but I can’t be 100% certain. Not sure that its made any more and this was a couple of months past its best before date, but I picked it up anyway in case I can’t get it again. Deep red/brown colour with scant head. Cardboard and caramel malt aroma. Very heavy toffee flavour, with more caramel and hints of treacle. Dry malty finish but not a lot of bitterness. Definitely 80/- in style. Didn’t really go a bundle on it, but I’m not a great fan of the style anyway, so I haven’t marked it down too much.

Jan 10, 2005 A brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and hops. The flavor is of roasted bread, hops, and burnt caramel, leading to a dry roasted end.
