A 330ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2017. Purchased a little while back from B&M.
A: Poured into a tulip. Bottle conditioned. A deep reddish-marmalade hue with good carbonation and plentiful floating sediment. Produces a large head of creamy off-white foam with decent stability; this slowly reduces to a thick surface layer. Some lacing.
S: Aroma of grainy caramel malt with hints of fruity ale yeast, subtle green apple, earthiness, husks and faint stewed leaves. OK but muddled - a bit too yeasty.
T: Tastes of grainy malt with notes of fruity yeast, earthiness, mild green apple, caramel, husks and stewed leaves. Pretty dry, followed by a moderate bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth and dry, with spritzy carbonation and good body. Mildly astringent. Aftertaste of earthy, fruity yeast, grainy malt, mild caramel and bitter stewed leaves.
O: Decent but not outstanding. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are quite yeast-dominated with the malt and hops taking a back seat. Nice body. Drinkable but doesn't leave much impression. No need to hunt it down.

Bottled and picked up for 79p for 330 ml
Pours an amber body with splattering of white head
Red liquorice aroma
That is in the flavour coupled with a decent body this is a bargain
