Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - January. Also available bottle conditioned.
Deep copper colour, brewed to the style of a 19th Century Old Ale with a rich, nutty malt base using Maris Otter, Cara and Black malts. Well rounded, light roast malt flavours balanced by the fruit and spice bitterness from the generous use of English Golding and Fuggle hops.

Bottle. Large head upon pouring which took some time to dissipate.Some bitterness but plenty of body. Dont like the clear bottle it came in but overall it was quite pleasant.

Bottle. Copper/brown with an off-white head. Aromas are malty with citrus sourness. Musty and tainted. Some light floral notes. Flavours are cocoa powder malts with sour oranges. Yet another tainted Hampshire bottled beer. If they can’t be consistent, they shouldn’t bother.

Bottle. Again, another sour bottled ale from Hampshire. Some light wholemeal crackery sort of flavours, quickly pushed out by this metallic sourness. watery finish.

Spicy nose, some malts and notes of tobacco. Deep reddish to brown body, small off-white head. Dryish flavor, tobacco and some malt. The tobacco notes are really delicious.
