A strong bitter with a rich brown colour and a strength of 5.2% abv. The full flavour is derived from the recipe of Pale Ale Malt, Torrefied Wheat, Invert Sugar and Roast Barley. The hop blend is from finest English Fuggles and Challenger. The rich raisin character is a result of the fermenttaion of the dark sugars from the Invert sugar & Roast Barley. A palate fullness is another characteristic of this beer.

Sample at GBBF Winter. Dark, clear amber, thin silky head. Malty aroma, sweet, bready. Malts get tannic in the taste, dry, woody. Sweetness disappears.

Cask at the Pump House, Shirley, Solihull. Poured a clear chestnut brown colour with an everlasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt, big yeast. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a big yeasty, floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Pretty awful but I think this is more down to Wetherspoons than the brewery.

Clear, copper colored, medium doapy non lasting beige head. Aroma is some malt, biscuit, light caramel, some fruity estery notes and light earthy hops. Taste is medium sweet malt, bit of caramel and biscuit, fruity apple rind esters, medium bitterness, some light earthy hops, dry dry finish and lasting bitter aftertaste. Medium- bodied, soft to flat carbonation, bit oily.

19th June 2016: half-pint in my local Wetherspoons. Looked good, rich amber bodied with a strong toffee aroma and taste, really liked it: my sweet tooth loving the flavour.
