Best Standard Dark Ale in the 2008 World Beer Awards. A traditional full malty 'Brown Ale' with a creamy head. Mild hop notes with a lingering biscuity sweet palate give coffee and liquorice notes. A bitter sweet finish

Many thanks to Bob for bringing this from his Harveyโs Pub. Smooth malty beginning. The beer is smooth and round. Very nice and easy to drink. Fresh and malty, round with a subtle malty-nutty bitterness. Smooth and round on the tongue, malty caramel in the aftertaste, round and great with not too much bitterness there.

Cask at Rights of Man, Lewes, East Sussex. A dark brown coloured pour with a medium bubbly off white head on top. Sweet, malty, caramel aroma. Tastes quite sweet, malty, caramel, a little dark fruit. This was rather good and really on top form as it should be, the famous brewery is down the road from this pub. I knocked back 3 pints of it.
