This is dark ruby ale is based on a Victorian recipe for mild ale - from the days when ’mild’ was not synonymous with low alcohol and a lack of flavour. Pale, crystal and black malts give the rich, malty flavour,
with Fuggles hops providing a relatively low 34 IBUs of bitterness,
plus some hop aroma.

Do your research and see if you can find where the name comes from.

Bottle from Vittles & Company, Hull. Black with a small off-white head. Full flavoured dark malty beer, full-bodied with a mild sweetness. It's a little less stated in its nose, but its lingering taste is definitely a plus.

Bottle ordered from Vittles & Company, Hull. The bottle states 5.4%..Aroma has sweet edged dark berries and nuts over dark chocolate. Opaque dark brown with a ruby tint. Creamy beige head soon fades away. Medium sour with a bitter edge. Underlying sweetness. Sharp berries, liqourice and chocolate. Nutty finish. Although it's the sourness that is the primary feature complimented by the chocolate. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. I like this. Rich, malty and pleasantly sour.
