This is an oak fermented, strong English bitter brewed with rye, crystal, brown and chocolate malts. We were inspired by pictures of beer festivals from the 1970s when virtually all beers were served from oak casks. The oaky character has all but gone from modern beers, so we decided to bring it back in a big way! This is not a subtle beer.

Cask-condiitoned on gravity at the brewery, 1/5/2016. Amber in colour, with a tight, white, head. Aroma of leafy hops, sweet malts and some hedgerow fruits. Flavour had more fruits, sweetish, bready, malt character and a moderately bitter finish. Good.
