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.

On cask in London. Smooth malty beginning. Round and malty with a nice bitter-ale aroma over the malty part. Smooth and fresh in the mainpart, smooth, mild malty and moderate bitter in the aftertaste.

Spoons Fest! Non fest beer! Clear brown beer with a ghost of a head. Zero carbonation. Light soft and dry palate. Toffee and nuts malt and well joined up cherry and orange fruit. Tiny bit of tea and rich tea biscuits! Finishes dry. Tasty. Some attempt at carbonation would have been appreciated!

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Mid brown in colour with a low cream head; aroma of malts and caramel; robust caramel malt flavours with just a touch of raisins; some gentle hops, but the finish is dominated by assertive sour malts. This is strong and robust, and rather similar to Hobgoblin.

cask at Guildford Arms - Pours amber-orange and has a lightly roasted malt aroma. There’s some good bitterness in the flavor, moderately strong at most but nice, along with sweet malt and a bit of caramel. It’s medium bodied and a pretty good quaff.
