Sometimes you meet people who can buy & sell wherever they are in the world - you know the sort, you count your fingers after shaking their hands - these are modern day Pirates - The Royal Fleet Auxiliary I met when stationed in Gibraltar inspired this beer - they trade in every port to keep HM Navy well stocked with everything from fuel to chocolate bars.
Best bitter doesn't get any better than this, a malt base of caramel and coffee, finished with a clean citrus taste.
Malt : Crystal 150, Cara, Patent Black, Venture, Wheat
Hops : North Down (UK), Target (UK), Fuggles (UK), Challenger (UK), Goldings (UK)

Cask-conditioned at Swindon Beer Festival, 23/10/2014. Copper coloured, with a slight, off-white, head. Full-bodied, with rich, slightly toasty malts, berry fruits and a lingering, bitter, finish. Enjoyable.
