Bottled. Deep golden. Raisiny, papery malt aroma. Wonderful deep malt character. Lightly orangey with some vanilla and toffee and well balanced bitterness.

Bright copper; toasty, light woody hoppiness and faint yeast notes; clean, well-balanced between caramel, toast, wood and yeast, and a late hint of chocolate.

Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a thin coating of wispy white head. Aroma of slightly grainy, toasty malts and some English hops. Body starts lightly sweet with a hint of caramel before thinning out toward a more bitter earthy finish. Fairly true to style, but equally bland.
