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 The Pennsylvanian (Wetherspoons), Rickmansworth, Herts. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Sweet, malty, caramel, dark fruit aroma and taste. This was actually quite decent.

Cask at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly opaque, light brown, with mixed grain foam, fine to gross. Aroma is malty, earthy, some caramel and honey too. Body is slightly thin, with practically no carbonation. Taste is moderate sweet, with some feeling of crumbled biscuit.
