A radically different beer... it has roast barley added to the pale and crystal malts. It has a deep burnished copper colour, a rich port wine aroma, a big chocolate and creamy malt palate and a dry, grainy, roasty finish balanced by hop bitterness and tart fruit. It is a remarkably complex beer that deepens and changes as you sup it.

Bottle from an Xmas present from my team. What maeib said. In fact I can add very little. It’s inoffensive, not an old ale and has some ok malt. It’s some water with some malt and alcohol. that’s about the size of it.
