Bottle. Golden brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is roasted and hopped, and the flavour is roasted, dry and very well hopped with a slightly yeasty finish. Overall a nice very well hopped and bitter beer.

Jan 1, 2010 [500ml bottle, gift from my wife - cheers!] Considering this is a relatively local brewery, I’m surprised that this is the first I’ve had from them. Deep amber, negligible beige head, moderate carbonation. Tastes dry and woody - almost of sawdust at first. Slight metallic hints before some autumn fruit come through. But the mouthfeel is weak, watery and fizzy - felt like a mass-market pasteurised bitter rather than a micro brewery bottle conditioned old ale. Disappointing, but I suspect that it’s better casked.

Aug 1, 2009 500ml bottle under the M & S label - Buckinghamshire Ale. Poured a mid- brown with a small white head which last well down the glass. More malty than hoppy but well balanced overall. Well carbonated & quite sweet in the swallow. An OK beer but have tasted much better.
