A beautiful dark ruby ale with pale, dark Crystal and Weyermann speciality malts. A deceptively sessionable dark ale.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford – not listed in RateBeer. Pours a lovely shade of mahogany with a small cream head. Nose is powerful and features roast malts and raisins. In the mouth the texture is creamy with flavours of fruit, raspberries and raisins. Finish is a bit watery, but with some bitterness. Looks wonderful but taste doesn’t quite live up to it.
