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.

Cask at Ye Olde Cock Inn, Didsbury. Medium to dark amber color. Tall, fine head. Strong, fruity aroma, slightly sweet, like bubblegum. Fantastic. Smooth and mellow flavor. Fruity and spicy with good hops that are not overwhelming. Finish is full of hops and dry, but with a rich grain taste (oats?). Good medium plus body. Very nice, with full flavor.

Tap @ Pullman, Helsinki. Pours nicely amber color with almost no head. Aroma is apple mostly. Flavour is more fruit and hops that adds to the bitterness. Could be more bitter thoug. Low carbonation. Decent bitter.

Cask. Clear dark amber with a rough off-white head. Sweet roasted malts, fruit and caramel in the nose. Medium body, very low in carbonation, nutty, roasted malts and a whiff of licorice. Lightly hoppy finish. Nice. 160110

Cask. Poured a pale amber with an off-white head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma was light with floral and citrus hops and perhaps a touch of toffee and bread. Flavor had a strong earthy notes as well as some floral and citrus hops. Quite thin.

On tap at a pub just south of the Tower Bridge. Faint scent of hops, has no real head to speak of, but again Iโm pretty sure thatโs intentional. Taste of a mix of hops and more fruity Belgian flavours in there, a good mix of taste but also a little watery; maybe that means itโs not too overpowering.
