Bottle from Morrisons (£1.50 for 355ml):
Brown with a thin, bubbly white lacing for a head that leaves a little lacing on the edges of the glass.

Malty with a strong, nutty aroma and some darker malts. There is a definite earthy smell along with some moderate bitter notes.

Sweet and dark malts along with some bitterness and quite a few earthy flavours. There is a little sugar and a touch of caramel too.

Light medium bodied with a smooth, sweet and slightly creamy beer that is quite bitter too.

Not bad although not quite a good one either. It was a nice bitter that went down quite well, better than I was expecting really. A pretty standard, run-of-the-mill offering that I would have again if pushed but it's not one to seek out.
