Purchased at the Spar chain grocery store in Church Stretton, Shropshire (where I got plenty of other Welsh bottled beers!); bottle-conditioned in a 500ml brown bottle, BB 19/05/09, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.

A: dark reddish amber in colour, the carbonation comes very light and quiet, supporting an equally restricted thin sheet of off-white foam.
S: besides the dominant influence of yeastiness, traditional aroma of Golding-like tangerine-ish fruity hoppiness intertwines with raw-ish nuttiness, boiled root veggie, herbal tea and a touch of brown sugar. Very light and quiet in terms of aroma.
T: a lightly sour-sweet yeasty foretaste backed by powdery biscuity malts, boiled kidney beans and brown malts is ensued by a slightly chewy, ground-root-herb-like bitter-sweetness with a wee bit of spice. Restrained in hop-bitterness in the end while the lightly sour & faintly "smoky" (a tad phenolic) yeastiness also lingers. Simplistic.
M&D: quite smooth but slightly flat on the mouthfeel, the body is not thin but slightly too light to be honest. Overall, I don't think this bottle is conditioned as successfully as the other two Conwy RAIB products, as the semi-flat texture doesn't add any positive points to the overall timid performance. Just about average.
