Our darkest, maltiest most traditional ale. Robust but not heavy, a great winter ale that gives any modern light ale a run for its money. As we brew our beers down to a final gravity of 1008, this beer manages to be strong but not heavy and is as easy drinking as our lighter ales. Yet the roast malt and our combination of classic English hops gives it plenty of depth too.

Cask gravity Notts BF 05. Chestnut beer. Bubbly beige head. Acidic appley nose, more apple and some dark malt in mouth with some choc. Finish has more apple/choc finish. Bit odd and lacks direction. Bit of toffee/caramel 500ml bottle from Booths. Chestnut with lasting beige head. Choc, some malt fruit, some dry malt on aroma. Bit empty on mouth. Some pepper hop on end. Pateurised best bitter with some malt character. 535312
