500ml brown bottle with a comical label of a train loaded with brewing equipment. 4.2%.
The label also says it was brewed and bottled for 'The Beer Engine', but not by who and where. Best by Nov 2007, drank in Dec 2006.
Tawny brown, clean looking in my sleeved pint glass, very thin white wispy head sat on top, loads of bubbled rising through the beer,they are not however helping the head to grow or stay.
Aroma, caramel, but not sweet or toffee apple, hops and a splash of malt also in the air.
Very dry, too dry for my tastebuds. the dryness is there from the first sip until the last and lingers in the mouth. I have two more bottles in the garage, they will now move from my personal stash, to the 'visitors allowed to drink them' area. Not a bad beer by any standard, but just a bit dry for me.

Sampled on gravity dispense straight from the cask at FAB Fest, Miami Beach, earlier this month (notes taken).
Mid-amber-brown in colour with gentle hoppy nose; little head due to the dispense method. Taste was well-balanced malt and hops, fairly bitter which increased towards a quite dry finish. A moderate hoppiness lingered for a pleasant aftertaste.
A very drinkable beer which made it to the second round of the festival's blind tasting session (though it didn't end up in the top 3).
