A strong malty ale that has mellow roast tones. Slightly nutty and fruity with a warming aftertaste.Before his death at Trafalgar, Nelson was already a national hero. Trafalgar was the greatest sea battle of all time involving the Spanish, French and British Fleets. Victorious but at the cost of his life Admiral Nelsons body was returned to England for a State Funeral involving a long sea passage. It is believed his body was preserved in a cask of Brandy and the crew during the dark hours crept out and drank from the cask praying they would inherit his traits.

Cask at the Reading Beer Festival. Amber with a white head. A hint of caramel. A hint of mineral. A hint of stewed apple. A lot of blandness. A lot of boredom. A beer of this strength should have more taste than this, surely?!

Clitheroe Beer Festival 2015. Dark copper coloured. Nutty in both aroma and taste. Full-bodied and its strength is not overbearing at all.
