En kopparfärgad ale i stilen extra special bitter
5,5 ABV
Under tidigt 1800-tal hade pale ale och bitter blivit synonymer i England. Bryggerierna kallade sitt öl för pale ale men konsumenterna insisterade på att kalla den för bitter. Troligtvis för att de var betydligt mer humliga och beskare än andra vanliga öltyper såsom porter eller mild. Begreppen Ordinary Bitter, Best Bitter och Special Bitter växte fram, den ena starkare och humligare än den andra.
Vår Special bitter har en maltig smak från mörk karamellmalt och en nypa chokladmalt. Lättdrucken, välbalanserad i god engelsk tradition med en tydlig blommighet från den engelska humlen.

Bottled 500ml (BB 07/2011)
Deep ruby brown color, small steady off-white head. Papery, yeasty aroma. Medium-bodied. Some caramel, light licorice, vegetables and quite strong bitterness for ESB. Perhaps a bit too old bottle, probably better when fresh on tap.

500ml Bottle (Thanks Omhper) - Hazy brown/copper. Roasted aroma with hints of malt, coffee, chocolate and dried fruit. Fruity and malty taste with notes of raisins, roasted malt, caramel and cocoa. Not bad.

Bottled:
Pours a hazy copper amber colur with mid sized airy head. Sourish aroma with notes of red currants. Sourish flavour wth notes of resiny hops and hazel nuts. There might be an infection going on here. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to rate it again sometime.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear reddish brown small head. Salty black currant aroma. Mid-sweet with medium body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Light caramel rests under the resiny hops. Plenty of salt, some black currant. Long resiny bitterness. Too clean mouthfeel to be really good.
