BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - MAY 4, 2012
Nov 2006, from BA: 500 ml brown bottle, with a colourful, country scene front label telling me it is a multi-grain beer (barley, wheat, oats and rye). Pours beautifully into my Gordon’s tulip glass, off white foaming head sat atop a lovely copper red body. Aroma of baked digestive biscuits and a malty wiff. The rear label mentions Maris Otter pale and Crystal malts, it also states Goldings hops were used. All I know is, it tastes great, like an English bitter should. The bitterness stays in the mouth and down your throat, rich, wholesome and enjoyable. This is one of the best bottled beers I have ever had and will be getting some more very soon.
