COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available in pasteurised bottle.
This premium bitter has a distinctly malty character with a hint of nuttiness. The enhanced hopping rate recreates for many the good old days of a true Yorkshire bitter. Stallion gained the coveted award of Champion Beer at the 1994 York Festival.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours amber with a slight haze and an off-white head leaving a discreet lacework. Lightly nutty aroma. Light body, dry and malty with notes of nuts and a vague, metallic edge. Some bitterness in the finish. Overall rather uninteresting. 030306

yespr (22227) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAY 28, 2008
From cask at Charlies. Pours cloudy orange with a lacing off-white head. Light toasted to breadish dry malt aroma. Flavour follows this with a mild fruity note in addition. Light liqourice note into the finish. Finish holds a light bitterness yet still mixed with the same malt flavours. Very pleasent biter.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JAN 11, 2007
Cask at the Wharf. Nice malty sweet aroma. Dark copper/brown colour. OK head. Very nice flavour, sweet fruity hoppiness, a little spicy. Finishes on a good bitter note, cleaning the palate. Pleasantly low carbonation.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - DEC 12, 2006
Cask Conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen
Amber color; thin persistent head. Common aroma, the flavor is much better, malty, with caramel; fresh, easy drinkable, with light malt fruitness; and it has a good hopping, even if not particularly aromatic. Long final. Good.

Maria (8587) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAY 6, 2007
Red mahogany and a nice head. the aroma has notes of roasted malt and hops, and I find the same in the flavour. It’s a bit thin in the body, so this stallion isn’t very feisty. The finish has a nice bitterness.
