Bottle 500 ml (6 sterling pounds) from Waitrose with number 096558. Aromas of malts, caramel, tropical fruit, alcohol, banana. Just perfect looks with a clear body ranging from amber to maroon to chestnut and a beige-white fluffy head that lasts. Taste is rich and bitter with malts, caramel, alcohol, dried dark berries/fruit and subtle notes of banana and vanilla. Somehow creamy and quite dry palate, like a proper English ale should be. Very pleasant. Luckily I have another bottle stored for a special occasion.
