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).

Cask at The Globe, King’s Lynn
Dark mahogany color, with generous creamy head. Light caramel aroma. Some caramel flavor, but it also has a dry and metallic feeling. Some roasted malts in the final.
First pint of the cask, obviously fresh, but simple and a bit dusty. Simple.

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.

Cask at The Cleveland Arms, London. Pours clear amber-brown with a medium, off-white foam. Lightly toasted malts, light fruits and leaves in the nose. Sweet flavor, some toasty dough, light tangy dark fruits, some subtle toffee. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Clean, sweet, malty finish, with undertones of toffee and toasted leaves. Not bad. Pretty basic mild.
