COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - brewed in associatopn with the Nicholsons pub group.
A rich ruby beer with a smooth malt character, Willamette hops give this beer spicy, blackcurrant aromas and flavours. (Locally sourced) plums and cinnamon have been added to complement the beer’s character with a delectably rich flavour and a gentle spice. An excellent accompaniment with lamb shank or tagine, or – of course – crumbles, and Christmas Pudding!

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 15, 2012

Cask conditioned at The Crown (Nicholson’s), Oxford. Chestnut with cream head. There is a rich full maltiness to this, baked bread notes with chocolate malt hints, smooth but with an odd note of graininess. It doesn’t really move on from there, so becomes slightly duller as you go through the pint, but reasonable initially.
