Shiny amber, nice creamt offwhite head. Metallic aroma at first, hoppy but also fruity from pear and some grape. Hay and with some floral notes. Flavor is fruity with hoppy notes, grapes and with a hoppy finish with metallic notes. Underrated here if you ask me...

Bottled. A fruity best bitter with berries and good warming malts. Dark amber to ruby coloured with no head. Decent hops on the nose. Really unexpectedly nice.

Fireside Full-bodied Ale of Green King.
Bottle at Bishops Arms Växjö, Sweden.
Brownish-red color with a light beige head. Fresh hoppy scent, but also a bit metallic. Medium bitterness and body. Hoppy taste.

What a beauty! Quite sweet/toffe/malty, but enough bitter and hops there. This is a real melt in the mouth taste. Great quality picture of the bottle adjacent too!

deep red with a poor head, not much aroma, slightly malty with some caramel, quite a good drink.

Bottle, Sainsburys. A dark and malty winter bitter with lots of fruit and caramel. Much better than I expected.

Bottle. Clear ruby-amber coloured, small persistent off-white layer. Medium to solid toasty and fruity - raisins - nose. Moderate sweet-bitter flavour, astonishingly "full" bodied for a beer of 4.5%, soft MF. Lingering fruity-malty finish with a tinge of cacao-powder and lemony hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Good and pleasant............
