A dark, chestnut, red brown beer with a weak, beige-white head. the nose is a mellow blend of sweet malt and liquorice. The taste is of the sweet malt again, along with the liquorice, there is a tiny hint of dry bitterness in the finish to perfectly balance the sweetness. The aftertaste is smooth and bitter sweet. (Bottle - purchased from Waitrose as part of a three pack of small craft brewers of Britain).

Bottle. Deep chestnut, good off white head and gentle condition. Low spicy malt and peppery hop in the nose, gentle earthy hop bitterness in the mouth with some chocolate and a fruity tartness also noticable, low bitter hoppiness in the finish becoming quite dry.

Bottle 500ml. Darksih red ale, thin beige head. Good dark fruit and berry(strawberry?) aromas with caramel/toffee some roasted malt notes. Good in mouth some sweetness some roast malt coffee/caramel which carries on to end which is dry. OK, but would be better in winter than August

Deep red ruby brown ale with no head. Sweet caramle butterscotch with vanilla notes, woody chips, and dry mouthfeel. Still a rather light and watery bodied ale. Bought at Waitrose, Gloucester Road, London.

The Lure:
Sweet golden syrup undermining the green, herbal hoppiness. Cranberries attempt a perfume, but scant ashes bring them down. All is quite subdued and thus near silent.

The Festivities:
Chalky hoppiness is a bit harsh, but the near-cask feel and fruity interplay of this bottle are interesting. Nothing outstanding to say the least.

Transcendence:
Spring roads are definitely not the smoothest driving.

Dark hazy copper, off-white head. Earthy and salty nose, dry sandy malts. Mellow and husky. Spicy and almost lemony hops. Stale global character. Quite heavily carbonated, light bodied and oily feel.
