An English Ale with a distinctive flavour of dark toffee and caramel combined with a crisp bitterness derived from using rare Bramling Cross hops. Tropical and berry fruits from the mix of hops, in particular the rare Bramling Cross which adds black and redcurrants. Challenger in the boiling copper gives robust bitterness and this is balanced by the sweetness from the pale and crystal malts. (Bottle 4.7%)

0.5 l can @ Mijas, purchased in a random Carrefour. Pours deep orange with thin, ehite head. Nose is toffee and caramel. Taste is the same, with hints of alcohol and slight metallic notes. Short bittersweet finish, light body, soft carbonation. Lacks the biscuits-y notes, otherwise not bad.

copper pour with a fluffy tan head. Great aroma of caramel malt, and some nice goldings hops. Flavour is smooth, and the malt is the first note. Nice rich caramel, with a great bitter hop bit in the finish. Wow, i’m really ejoying this, excellent stuff.

Can, 50cl Systembolaget. Clear amber with a warm white foam, dissipates fairly quick with lacings left on the glass. Nose is pretty rich with malt, toffee, caramel and apricot. Taste is black currant notes beautifully balanced on a malty ground, slight bitter and wattery in the finish. Small tiny bubbles, oily texture - well made.
