A chestnut, tawny red premium ale. Brewed with roasted malts and English Fuggle hops, to give a smoky, spicy hoppiness on the nose, leading to a molasses, nutty palate with a light fruity hop dryness.

Brown 50cl bottle of cold-sterile filtered (not pasteurised) ale, best before 18 June 2011. Brought back from the Isle of Wight by a work mate. Drank and reviewed on 7 Jan 2011. Poured slowly into an ’Abbot Ale’ glass tankard. Looked great, a clear body of shining light ruby red, on top a thin white foaming head. Malts dominate the smell, semi-sweet molasses and freshly baked biscuits. The taste follows the aroma but with a wicked hoppy bite within the malty flavour. Well balanced and full of flavour, wish I’d been given more than just this bottle. Recommended to have with barbequed meats and hearty casseroles: I reviewed it with variuos cheeses and dry biscuits, it went great with Emmentaler and Goats Cheese. Not so sure about the soft Garli though (or the Olives). Really impressed.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 31 March 2012) Chestnut colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark fruit, prunes, toast and spicy hops. Malty, fruity taste with dark bread, toast, raisins, prunes and a spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of malt sweetness. Well balanced and quite nice.

Cask @ Akkurat. Highly drinkable, yet quite big and complex. Notes of chocolate and nougat. Refreshing grape bitterness from the hops.

50cl bottle bought in Hartney Wintney. Copper coloured with a trace of white head; light hoppy aroma; soft with a rich caramel malt flavour and some clean hops to finish. A pleasant, well-made, bitter.

Jag lärde mig att gilla Fuggles under tiden på L’Abri. Den bör väl kombineras med någon annan humle för att inte bli endimensionell. Jag provade denna både på fat och flaska. Fatversionen var som vanligt bättre. Här kom kroppen och lenheten i malten fram och humlen gav den där extra touchen. Finfin.

Bottle bought at a deli in Petersfield, Hants. Copper coloured with no head. Sweetish, malty aroma with a touch of plum fruit. Flavour of bready malts, with some orange and moderately bitter finish. Ok.
