A best bitter with a fine blend of the best English roasted malts complimented by the country’s hops. Low bitterness to make the roast malt flavours the dominant characteristic.

330ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a hazy dark amber colour with a massive, everlasting, frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt and mixed nuts. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a smooth, roast, nutty, light sweet treacle, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A dark chestnut pour with a tight beige head; aroma of brown sugar and raisins; earthy malt taste to start, then some sultanas and sweetness before a dry finish with a woody bitterness. A nice dark bitter.
