This strong brown ale is brewed to a 19th century recipe and fermented in traditional open vats. A blend of premium ale malts and the finest of English hops combine to produce a fruity and complex character.

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoons. Deep chestnut/ruby colour. Thin tight tan head. Treacle nose with good hop earthy. Full in mouth and quite smooth with tangy citrus finish. Malts fade quite quickly dark fruits on nose, blackberries. Quite nice

Brown, smooth; malty, nutty, not so fruity, dry toasty notes...a little thin and I miss the Cainโs yeast notes.

Pleasant drinkable beer, with a smooth palate and a quality slight coffee after taste. Altogether a smooth, smooth beer.
