Our English "Very Special" Bitter was first brewed in accordance with an old king's secret recipe, and had an uncommon ingredient, the japanese hop Sorachi Ace. But these type of things can't really be tolerated in Great Britain, so the king soon... lost his head. We hope he at least had a Royal Execution!

BOTTLE 50 CL from the brewery. Hazy red, beige head. Some sticky caramel, that slowly turns into a buttery and nutty cake. Light hoppy notes, ranging from wild to somewhat medicinal herbs. The taste is moderately sweet, caramel, just a little bit of toasty notes, pretty robust dry herbal bitterness (again, slightly medicinal). A bit peculiar, but well done.
