COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
This mid-brown coloured session bitter has a wonderful aroma of caramel, roasted malt with a hint of smokiness and dried fruit. This beer has a smooth and full mouthfeel whilst the initial taste is of intense nutty malt sweetness which then gives way to a distinct smokiness imparted by the crystal and dark malts. This is followed by and balanced with a long lingering spicy and pine hinted aftertaste chockfull of English hops.

Enjoyed on tap at small english inn. Good color. It’s a fairly light brew in flavor. Some bitterness as would be expected. Decent thirst quencher.
