UPDATED: SEP 29, 2021 Amazingly I don’t seem to have any record of having drunk this beer before – so not since 2012 at the latest. Cask at Sun Inn, Stafford. Pours a reddish brown with a medium off-white head. Traditional hops and malt vie for supremacy in the aroma – with some nutty characteristics in there too. Has a creamy texture and is Initially sweet and malty in the mouth with hints of almond. Later hops start coming through with a side order of bread rolls – giving an overall effect similar to Werthers Original sweets. Finish is quite bitter. Quite nice – I will certainly drink this again.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2021 Strong Brown Red ale in appearance. Like many red ales their is a metallic taste but this is considerably less conspicuous then in other examples i've had

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2021 From bottle (BB June'21) in dimpled mug. Pours clear ruby amber w/short, dense tan head that settled into a ring, aroma of roast caramel malt and earthy hops (I'd agree w/hawthorn00 on peach as well). A rich and tasty ESB w/decent bitterness in the finish.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2020 Bottle. Amber with a small light beige head that doesn't last. 3- Aroma of peach, breadcrust, roast, caramel. Medium bodied, lowish carbonation. A depth and balance of flavour that works really well - sweet, fruity, roasty and bitter.
