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 Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. A slightly hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty combined notes of caramel anf fruit and hints of alcohol. The flavor is quite sweet with strong notes of malt and fruit as well caramel, the thick body lingers with notes of fruit.

(Cask at Quinns, Camden Town, London, 27 April 2008) Dark amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, apricots and a hint of sulphur. Fruity taste with dark fruit, slightly artificial with earthy hops in the finish. Rather sweet, medium body. Drinkable, but with definite macro character.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag OโNails, Bristol 18/3/08. I tired to approach this one with an open mind...honest. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of sickly caramel and oily hops. The flavour was cloyingly sweet with a whiff of sulphur and a slightly metallic finish. Served in decent condition, so no excuses - poor!

Amber color, small off-white head. Woody-grassy hoppy nose. Woody hoppy flavor with caramelly-malty sweetness. Flavors of mould - propably this cask was not at its best. Some dusty hops in the aftertaste.

Cask handpull at Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Strong beer with a malty/nutty flavour. Deep amber in colour with lasting thin beige head. Raisin/cranberry aroma. Fruity malt. Alcohol is a little sickly. A good fireside warmer if a little sweet.
