Chestnut Ale. Shrouded in folklore, this ale punches as much flavour as it does history. A surprising ale with the body of a porter, but the colour of a chestnut.

Bottle from Melbecks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Look: Clear chestnut with decent off white head. Aroma: of caramel, sweet toasted malts, nuts, red and dark berry fruit. Taste: starts similar - toasted malts, caramel, quite drying leafiness, then sweetness comes through with a berry fruitiness, finishing back with the malts and light roast. Palate: Just shy of medium bodied but works well here for strength, still slick and flavours linger. Very good for the style.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 6/11/2019. Medium brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweetish and chewy malts, some leafy hops, a touch of berry fruit before a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
