A full bodied, warming ale of 4.7% ABV. Brewed with well-roasted malts and generous amounts of English hops, for a satisfying finish. The use of wheat malt as well as finest Pale Maris Otter malt results in a rich, full malty flavour. A blend of Fuggles and Goldings hops give good depth to the bitter finish of the beer.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Reddish mahogany colour with frothy, off-white head leaving some lacing. Malty, fruity, slightly roasted nose with notes of orange peel, fudge and earthy hops. Malty taste with notes of chocolate, fruity hints of dried fruit and orange, with lots of earthy hops in the finish. Firm body supported by lots of malt combined with fruity and hoppy aromas and flavours makes this a very well balanced, nicely constructed and very tasty brew. Nice!

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Dark brown. Medium dry, lightly roasty. Bold and rounded with clean malt profile. Salty finish with a touch of metal. A straight forward, somewhat sluggish bitter.
