Aromatic roast malts give a deep red colour and Fuggles Hops give a mild level of bitterness and aroma.

3/5/2019. Cask at the 28th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours dark ruby brown with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of light roasted malt, chocolate, light ash, dark fruit, coffee and earthy nutty notes. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight chalky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is quite dry. Pretty decent overall.

Cask, Victoria Spoons. Not getting any aroma over the Full Englishes around me. Ruby brown. Thin bubbly off-white head. Sweet with a hint of bitterness. Choc and nut and raisens. Medium bodied. Thin with some slickness. Soft to flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. Enjoyable laid back mild.
