Smooth and malty dark mild for drinking in quantity! Fruity and full – the use of roast barley in the mash provides not only deep-ruby colour, but also a subtle, clean and dry flavour.

Cask @ Engineers Arms, Henlow. Brown to black, fair bit of khaki head and considerable lacing. Coffee, coal, Pinot Noir and salt liquorice in the aroma. Complex taste is a masterclass in subterfuge: sweet with a slight sourness and a hint of salt/umami/wood. Bitterness in the finish. A long finish to savour. Light, slightly creamy mouthfeel. This is an odd duck, with a lot of character and intensity for its ABV.
