Aromatic barley malts and an exquisite belnd of hops combine to create a wonderful balance of sweet biscuit and subtle fruit flavours, with a hint of chocolate bitterness. (Contains barley).

500 ml bottle. Pours a beautiful mahogany read/brown with medium head. Aromas of toast, cereal/grain, and hints of dark fruit and caramel. Definitely a dusty biscuit flavor, along with dates and a bit of nuttiness. Full flavor, as stated.

Łagodny smak piwa. Brak nagazowania, karmelowo-goryczkowy posmak. Wyczuwalna lekka słodycz. Dominują tu raczej słody karmelowe. Piwo ma kolor bursztynowo-brązowy

500ml Brown bottle, best before 9 Mar 2010, drank 3 Dec 2009. Poured (twice) into my ’La Chouffe’ tulip glass, my current favourite tasting glass. Teak wood red/brown colour, clear and clean. On top sat a thick off-white foaming head which left some good lacing as I downed the beer. Malts are the main aroma producing elements of the nose producing a toffee, molasses and roasted feel to the smell. Sharper than I anticipated, the malts from the aroma also dominate the flavours somewhat, the roasted malts being the most prominent taste. I like Adnam’s traditional beers and I love Southwold (were the brewery is), but I am struggling to see where this beer fits into their portfolio. An OK beer and a bit of a disappointment considering who brews it.
