A darker premium bitter, well-hopped but with a smooth mouthfeel. A complex balance of malts gives a well-rounded flavour.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Kentish Town, London, 19 April 2012) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, raisins, nuts and dark bread. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, toast, raisins and spicy hops in a slightly bitter-sweet finish. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Quite decent.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear brown beer, no real head. Good malt base. Light dry hops. A little citrus, a little pine. Nice but finish is pretty dry.
