Cask; Special - Beer of the month for January 2009.
A beer with a reddish hue (from dark malts, not beetroot or mangel wurzels!), with two traditional English tall hops for bitterness and aroma, to give a full flavour for the long nights of January.

[Cask at Hobgoblin, Reading] Deep red-brown, small lasting white head, no carbonation. Sweet at first with treacle, straw and a lttle chocolate. Dusky bitter roasted malts come through in the aftertaste. First good beer I’ve had from West Berkshire - has restored my faith in the brewery a little. c8

[Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading.] Deep reddish brown with a thin cream head; rich roasted malt aroma; dry with full and fruity malts, and some chocolate and smoke; strongly bitter finish. Another excellent beer of the month from West Berks.
