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.

Creamy off white head on a clear, still copper coloured body. Malt, caramel & spices aroma. Medium bodied, creamy on the palate with a thinner clean back. Tangy tastes with caramel, spices, malt sugar & sweet fruit. Nice!

From wooden cask @ Cittie of Yorke, London. Pours clear amber, with a meagre amount of bubbles atop. Nutty malt nose. Light, with a gentle low-lying malt sweetness, toffee hints. Perhaps not the best bitter around, but pleasant to have in a nice old-style pub such as this.

Half-pint, keg at Roebuck Hotel. Deep copper coloured body under a creamy white head blanketing the glass. Bread-like malts on the nose, hints of earth, Discreet taste of caramel malts followed by a vague bittersweet end. Clean in the mouth. Rather thin bodied. Accepted. (Rochdale 04.05.2018).

On cask at Cittie of York London. Orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of grains, toast, butter and bread. The taste has some buttery character too, but not nearly as much as the aroma with notes of grains, bread and a nice floral hoppynes at the end of the sip. A good example of the style.
