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.

Backlog. From cask at The Granite City, Aberdeen Airport, 04.08.12. You know you’ve landet in a civilized country when you can get a perfect pint of real ale at the airport :-) Dark golden in colour, off-white persistent head. Served slightly too cold. Aroma of dark caramel and toffee, with hints of hops and grains. Taste of caramel and malt, with superbly balanced bitterness. Long and delighful aftertaste of hops and malt that keeps evolving in the mounth. Perfect, just perfect.

Ikonisk og nydelig, og enn noe gammelmodig med årene.

Cask at the Piazza JDW, Birmingham Airport. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is stale malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth woody resin hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
