Bottle. Golden, small head. Has a fruity aroma, and fruit is there in the flavor as well. Sweetish and a little dry.

Nice tasting pint with a creamy, thick head. Tasted some liquorice as well as toffee. Pretty bitter aftertaste.

Deep spicy malt nose. Light amber in the glass with a thinish head. Bitter and thirst quenching at first and rounds out to a slightly sour maltiness. not bad, but not amazing.

A good robust brew, not too disimilar to the cask version if my memory serves correct! Lovely fruity/malty palate, with a good finish.Guest ale,Morrison,£1.59.

500ml bottle. No major complaints here, despite being pasteurised. Bright copper/amber colour with a thin white head. Surprisingly hoppy aroma - slightly resinous and flowery - with caramel and plummy fruit. Flavour falls away a bit, concetrating on fruity malt, decoming dry and reasonably bitter on the finish. Solid but unexciting. The cask is better.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a dense, lasting head. Lovely fresh floral aroma. Rather light with some nutty notes. Not overly bitter - the hops add mostly aroma. Very classical bitter. 060601
