Cask at the Rose and Crown, Sandhurst. Chestnut with a dense cream head; nutty malt aroma; full on malt taste - with sweet chewy caramel and also some sourish fruit, roasted nuts and chocolate; rounded off with a pleasant, deep, lingering, English hop bitterness. Really good.

12th May 2012 saw me on a pub crawl of Shrewsbury: fourth pub was ‘The Wheatsheaf’ and a hand pulled pint of this malty, amber brew. Good looking beer: nice amber to darker red colouring with a white foaming head which gave some impressive lacing. The nose was earthy malts and nutty hops. Tasted slightly different to your normal English Bitters: dry feel to the flavours, thirst quenching for sure, but something missing within the whole package. Medium bodied and almost interesting.

A cask of this one was put on display at The White Star in Stoke just as we were about to leave the pub. So we had to stay for another half pint. Copper-amber body colour with kirchenfenster on the glass. Fruit hoppy aroma. Taste of resinous hops moving in the direction of dried fruits. Distinct bitter endnotes that last for a while. Fine balanced and easy to drink (02.05.2009).
