A Robust Dark Bitter. Simple and satisfying - the key components of a good best bitter. Maverick ticks both boxes, with fruity British hops on top of a robust malt backbone for a rich, dark ale to savour. Layers of warming, roasted malt, dried dark fruits and candied orange flavours, with a mellow, sweet finish.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, small white head with fair lacing. Aroma is malt, wort, a bit earthy. Light bitterness, does not dominate the beer, but is sufficient. Medium body, average carbonation. Good ale.

Bottled, BB Nov 2014, large sample. Clear copper color, medium frothy light brown head. Aroma of caramel malt, hint of toast, roast, earthy hops. Soft bitter taste, some caramelly sweetness. Finishes rather bitter and slight dry. Some fruity UK yeast. Good balance. Nice brew.

Bottle from the brewery and cask at CP&K. It pours clear amber-brown with a thick off-white head. The nose is wood, leather, earth, toast, brown bread and touch of caramel. The taste is toasty, earth, wood, leather, light bitterness, nut and caramel with a clean, dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A classic, well-executed bitter.
