A Strong Bitter with a difference: brewed with mild ale malt to produce a darker and more full-bodied ale. It is rich with robust flavours of ripe fruits, caramel and roast malt that give way to a long, dry and well-rounded bitter finish. The aroma is a tempting mix of chocolate and blackcurrant notes provided by the combination of roast malt and English hops.

Historic check-in. Can't remember whether it was Dawkins or Matthews at this stage

Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 1/8/07. Dark red with a strong tan head that left a lot of lacing. Aroma of dark chocolate, spice and red fruits. The flavour had plenty of tangy fruit, roasted malt and a hoppy finish. Excellent.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Ruby colour with lasting beige head. Nice choccy aroma. Bit of curry powder, well spice anyway. Roasted flavours in mouth. I really like the roasted grain flavour and texture. Dry finish. Quirky, but like most other people at the table, I liked it.
