COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - mid October to end February. Not on the brew schedule for 2006, so current status uncertain.
An easy drinking traditional style ale. Clean and refreshing yet dark and mysterious, Fisherman is a deep coppery red, conjuring up roasted nuts and dark chocolate, with a lingering taste of liquorice and dried fruits.

Handpulled cask at the Wenlock some time ago. A dark brown ruby tinted beer with caramel and malts in the nose. The taste is very malty with coffee flavours. Nice hidden alcohol.

A bit darker than the Broadside and appears about the same. The bitterness is a bit overwhelming when consumed alone; would be good with some sort of roast.

JensenTaster (1718) - DENMARK - NOV 7, 2005
(cask)My first experience with an old ale with such a low alcoholvolume. Funny and very good as a sessionbeer, I think. To me it was a mix between a dunkel and a bitter. Easydrinkable, but with tones of tar and peat in there somewhere, made my looking for my southwest a once. dark rubyred, no head. low aroma of earth and malts. Taste was as above, light, but with dark impressions.
