Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); best barley malt, yeast and aromatic hops; fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create a relatively dry ale with rich nutty colour and palate of beech nuts, almonds and walnuts.

550ml bottle. Pours a clear amber-brown with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of toasted malt, bread, caramel and nuts. Sweet flavour of toasted malt, biscuit, toffee, caramel, molasses and walnut with a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very nice, easy drinking.

Undated imperial pint > pint glass A: Clear mahogany or tea color with a short tan head that falls to a stubborn film. S: Sweet chocolate, a little stone fruit or fig, dark bread and faint alcohol. T: Unsweetened Chocolate and bitter hops blend nicely with bitterness lingering. A hint of tart cherry and hazelnut. M: Light and crisply carbonated. Slight resin on an otherwise fairly dry finish. O: Haven't had this in years and it's nice to revisit. Old standby still recommended.

Bottle. Clear chestnut brown. Moderate off-white head. The nose is caramel, toffee, minor nuts, cocoa. Light body. Fairly dry tasting. Really nutty here. Rich toffee and caramel. Flavourful. Lightly hoppy ending. Floral. It's OK because of the entire dryness. A very pleasant brew.

Bottle at the Rising Sun in Smithfield. Poured well with a big foaming head and a nice dark colour in the glass. It was served way too cold and it took a while for the flavours to really appear. Wood, malt, a definite nuttiness and a sweet mouthfeel. As it warmed the aroma really started to appear and there was a definite hint of hazelnuts. A pleasant beer, but by the end the sweetness was a bit too much for me.
