Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - Sept & Oct.
A dark reddish – brown ale with a slightly smokey flavour, due to the addition of Peated Malt, normally used in Whisky production. First brewed in 1999 to celebrate the centenary of the Brewery`s steam engine which is still in daily use.

Cask conditioned @ JDW, Soton. Malty aromas and liqourice. Thin and salty, a bit on the sweet side. Could be pretty decent with a fuller body and less saltiness.

Medway Fest. Ruby colour. Licorice nose. Mmm. Malty and roasty. A deep and gorgeous Autumnal ale. long, lingering dark toffee notes merging with damp Autumnal leaves.

Cask at The Golden Lion, Ipswich. Deep brown colour. Full malty flavour, prunes and forest fruits aroma, hints of English malt vinegar and HP Sauce in both aroma and flavour. Dusty finish. Nice.
