Bottled. Dark amber colour with medium white head. Aroma of mixed berries and a bit fruity. Taste is sweet fruity at first with bitter tone in the finish. Nice bitterness in aftertaste.

500 ml. Clear copper with a lasting half-inch of creamy foam and Jack Frost all over the glass. Typical earthy-spiced caramel apple aroma. Initial flavor follows the aroma with slightly more apple and some oak. Finish turns to a pleasantly bitter toasted pecan nut and oak wood. Light-medium body is smooth and soft, with some hop tingle and a nice dry finish.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Light amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is very fruity with some toffee and malt. Taste is of caramel, malt, and fruit. Very mellow.

Bottle from Tesco. Dark red/amber with white head. Fruity malty aroma with hops noticeable at the edges. Caramel fruity taste with a good dry, bitter finish. Well balanced and a very enjoyable drink.

Old Hooky has a deep amber, almost copper colour. The aroma is sweet fruit which dominates the flavour although there is a nice hop quality to the finish.

500 ml bottle. Clear coppery orange colour, creamy off-white head, nice lacing. Simple sweet malty aroma with a hint of hops. Slightly roasty and dry malty flavour, with some fruits and a nice dry finish.

Pours darker amber with a soft tan head. Toasted malts with a soft fruity hop finish. Lightly mineral quality to the palate. I enjoyed the flavor to this, the warm caramel flavor paired nicely with the fruity finish.
