Traditionally brewed near Newbury with Maris Otter Pale and darker malts, this rich, full-bodied ale calls to mind stout yeomen at archery practice in the autumn before Agincourt - and other images of antique Albion.

Bottle from Fortnum & Mason, London. Clear but dark amber coloured with a thin head. Traditional styled ale with a light malty-sweetness, fused with a light hoppiness. Fairly earthy in design. Beyond its sell by date by 3 1/2 years but tastes fine.

50cl bottle. After several visits over the last couple of years, I finally find that they have some beer in stock - but to make it worth my while I find this, as well as the IPA I was hoping to get ....
It pours a bright golden amber with a thick white head, fading to a thin film and leaving some elegant lacing; the aroma is malty, slightly dusty without being stale; the texture is creamy with a rich caramel malt flavour; and some gentle English hops to finish, adding some light spice to the caramel. I’m a fan of WB, and this is definitely one of their better efforts. A solid English bitter.
