Redish color. Some laces. Strong bitterness and some fruityness and burnt taste. A good ale that isn’t quite excellent.

Aroma has some fruitish malts. Taste is similar and quite full, with grassy hops trying to balance, but not quit making it. Not bad beer though.

Pint pulled at The Railway in Putney (London), a clear brown amber with a think white head. A rich malty aroma with a strong rich maltiness in the flavour. Very smooth up front with a long bittering finish.

NOt much to say about it, it was a little dark, and very good foam. But nothing bad and nothing new about it.
