500 ml bottle. Pours copper with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of caramel malt, some cherries, toffee, bready malt and grassy hops. Body is medium and slightly crisp. Earthy hops, caramel malt and dark fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long and very dry. Very nice brew.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before Sept 09, drank May 09. Poured into a UK pint sleeve glass.
Lovely deep amber, clear body with a good off-white head sat on top. The head tried to stay but faded towards the end of the tasting.
Malt Loaf, then dark caramel and treacle. Sounds sickly, but the aromas were there without the sweetness factor.
This is one of the maltiest beers from the UK I've ever tasted. The Challanger, Goldings and Northdown hops try to break through, but even though they are whole hops (not in pellet form), they only just make an appearance if you search for them.
Lacks true body depth and any creamy or richness, it does however 'feel right'.
Very drinkable indeed.
