Brewed using hard water drawn from the original well sunk in stone Yorkshire squares to create a full-bodied malty, toffee-ish tasting, creamy beer of unique character.

Cask at the infamous Chandos. It pours clear amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, woody, leather, toasty grains, brown bread, nuttiness and muted sweetness with some toffee. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, sappy, resinous, wood, leather, nuttiness, touch chewy, tannin, varnish oak, spice and earthy notes with a drying, woody finish. Average body and pretty high, foamy carbonation for a cask ale. Interesting take on the bitter. Better than the base from memory.

Keg pint on 20th December 2024: Robert Raike's House. Nice looking beer, deep amber with a decent crown on top. Malty front but lacks any real depth of flavour, much prefer the cask version when I can get it!

Cask at The Anchor Tap at London Bridge. Amber orange pour. Creamy beige head. Rich, buttery malt nose. Flavor is sweet toffee malt. A hint of barrel. Amazingly smooth and rich. Lovely herbal hop finish.
