Warming, malty and fruity. Pale and amber malts contribute to a mouth-filling and satisfying Horlicks and biscuity maltiness. Challenger and First Gold give a base note of herbal hop and Fuggles as a late hop contributes the main fragrant fruity and floral and spicy notes. Fermented slowly to give just enough fruity esters Abbot Ale provides a complex, satisfying and warming experience.

Strange sprucey , kinda medicinal taste. But I'm at The Grapes, a pub from 1583 co-owned by Ian McKellen. Awesome place! Simple, small pub on the Thames.

Cask @ Eagle, Cambridge. Clear dark amber with no head. Aroma of toffee, marzipan and malts. Taste of malts, red fruits, toffee, cookies, marzipan and caramel. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Balanced and very enjoyable. Nice.

Аромат немного горький, по большей части хмелевой по английски. Немного пряный и травянистый. Цвет красивый, очень плавно переходит из белового кремового в темно коричневый. Вкус начинается очень кремово-сливочный от пенки. Далее совсем легкая копченость, даже дымка от солода. Неплохая и приятная горчинка на протяжение всей пробы. Послевкусие суховатое, и снова кремовое, хмелевое. В целом порадовало.

Half pint at The Reservoir, Earlswood, Solihull. Clear amber with nice consistent top. Its malty, very smooth with a nice nuttiness to it, and a hint of fruity hop. Good balance between sweet and bitter. Simple but effective.

Copper color with a mild earthy and malty aroma. Starts with a caramel malt sweetness and finishes with floral bitterness, which lingers. Lasting foam.
