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
