The recipe is based upon an original beer made by Whitakers of Halifax in 1937.
A smooth well balanced traditional ruby bitter. Five different malts including crystal and amber create a rich toffee/cherry flavour. Earthy Fuggles and Goldings hops combine in a smooth English character with hints of kiwifruit and toffee.
Great with sausages or a Sunday roast. Also good with mature cheddar.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2009) Dark reddish brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, prunes and a touch of coffee. Malty taste with dark bread, prunes, raisins, wort and spicy hops in a fairly dry finish. More than medium body. Nice and well balanced old ale.

Dark amber to chestnut color, with a thin head. The aroma is maybe too simple. The flavor is solid, a straight Bitter, with strong caramel flavor and strong bitterness; maybe not exciting, but back to basics.
