bottle,special
Last brewed by Usher’s of Edinburgh in 1885. This beer is dark red, well-hopped and has a complex flavour with hints of candied fruit.
This is a beer to sip slowly, not only because of its alcoholic warmth, but to appreciate the complex flavours and the long, hop finish. This is not a sweet beer, yet there are flavours of crystallized sugars and sweet dried fruits.
