A radically different beer... it has roast barley added to the pale and crystal malts. It has a deep burnished copper colour, a rich port wine aroma, a big chocolate and creamy malt palate and a dry, grainy, roasty finish balanced by hop bitterness and tart fruit. It is a remarkably complex beer that deepens and changes as you sup it.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2010) Dark ruby colour, leaning in the mahogany direction, with brief off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, raisins and dark bread. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dark bread, caramel, raisins and a dry finish with a mild bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Nice one.

Amber-brown. Toffee-caramel nose - a touch of butter? Soft, light toffee character. Finishes a little bit weak, actually.
