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.

Thin coarse offwhite head. Amber body. Earthy wooden lemony aroma. Dry fruity lemony tea and wood taste with earthy malty notes. Soft, smooth, clean mouthfeel. Some sweetness. Dry roasty earthy lemony aftertaste lingers. Nice session beer. (0.5pt cask at Anglesea Arms.)

[i] Cask at JDW The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon 04-11-07 [/i] Dark amber in colour with a thin white head. Sticky toffee in abundance at first and then a lovely rich and warming feel as it slips down sticky fruits also very much in evidence, a really nice beer, cask put on just before we left pub so glad I got to try this. Very enjoyable.

Half pint handpulled on cask at The Six Bells in St Albans. Clear amber in colour with a white foamy layer leaving firm lacing on the glass. Malty base in aroma with some dark fruits. The same goes for the taste - smooth malt and dried fruits. Short bitterness in the ending. Very ordinary English bitter and this version was not that well kept at the pub - not fresh enough (29.09.2006).
