Bottle. Light amber. Slight haze.
Fruity aroma mixed with caramel malt and leafy hop.
Taste is similar to the smell with diacetyl just about present.
Moderate feel.

Bottled
Brown bodied (okay with a slight reddish hugh) & tobacco stained white wall coloured head that starts off a good cm & ends up about 2mm but covers the surface area
Nice aroma there is dark bread & cigars & candied peel
The taste is malt drive starts with rye bread that turns to barley sugar then right on the edges
the most subtle bitterness all with a background soapiness
I would be kind & say this is easy drinking rather than thin
I don't know where they are going with this too sweet for bitter, not robust enough for brown ale
not fruity enough for amber
It's pleasant, drinkable even enjoyable just not hugely engaging

500ml bottle served into a pint glass
Look: Typical bitter look - clear, coppery brown with a bubbly off-white head. Significant lacing down the sides of the glass as it diminished to a thinnish foam cap.
Smell: Toffee, malt and burnt sugar - very malt-driven, although in fairness the bottle does state as much.
Taste: Again, toffee, caramel and burnt sugar - actually comes over as rather sweet whilst at the same time being quite earthy. Not a lot in the way of hop character evident. Quite an unusual flavour profile after a few weeks of drinking IPAs.
Feel: Quite a syrupy feel, with the sweetish flavour being a major contributing factor - there's a certain bitterness in the finish but this is more or less as the bottle describes it: malt driven with a mild hop finish.
Overall: Has all the characteristics of a traditional English bitter without the most obvious one - bitterness is largely notable by its absence. Not that bad of a pint, but probably a bit too sweet on the palate for prolonged drinking.
