Good ale! The flavour has a little fruity character (not unlike cider) with some sweetnees as well (drops). Well balanced by a very pleasantly bitter finish. IMHO slightly inferior to Bishops Finger, however.

Medium amber clear with smallish medium lasting yellow head. Swirl glass to get a strong almost artificial ester honey nectar and malt aroma. Medium body with smooth lowly carb mouth filling palate. Loads of character honey, nutty, caramel malt and lighter bitter flavours. Dry but slightly cloying mild sweet, more bitter, finish and aftertaste.

Hoppy aroma, slight, spicy smoky taste an unusual, good flavour. Good texture & strength.

A pleasent enough ale with a soft bitter finish. Subtle aromas and flavours add up to a balanced ejoyable ale.

Strong, syruppy, nutty, sticky and for me, it wasn’t well balamced (alcohol evident), kind of had a nice flavour, but it was just to cloying, worth a try though.

Nut brown. Full bodied, rich, very nutty, complex and well balanced.
