A 6% abv dark ale is created using a traditional brewing method of making two beers of different character and strength, which are then blended together. The beer takes its name from the racing term ’Springer’, a racehorse whose odds dramatically shorten before the race.

Bottle. Dark bronze color. Aroma: caramel and vanilla, a little toffee and chocolate pudding, sweetness. Taste: caramel, sweetness, hints of chocolate, a fruit sponge cake, a little bit of roasted malt, mild hoppy bitterness, not bad.

Deep brown, moderate head with good lacing. The aroma is dominated by caramel with notes of dry fruit. Medium to full body. Medium sweet taste with some bitterness. A good beer of no complexity in my opinion.

Bottle. Clear reddish-brown, no head. Strongish but not overbearing with a sugar driven sweetness in both aroma and taste.

Dobre choc kosztowalem lepsze Old Ale niz to. Ladna etykieta i subtelny smak wisni sliwek w czekoladzie. Zapach podobny do sherry, troche przypominalo nawet Amaretto. W smaku wyrazna slodkosc owocow lesnych i bardzo dojrzalych wisni. Po przelknieciu lekko kwaskowato wytrawne ale nadal nuty slodowe graja glowna role. Chmielone umiarkowanie. Kolor Ciemno brazowy z bordowymi refleksami. Piana dobrej jakosci, trwala i oblepiajaca szklo.

Clear 500ml bottle, original review lost on BA site. Lovely amber colour, clear body, with a full head of foam. Can’t remember a great amount else about the beer or my review, no aroma of note . I do however remember I was quiet impressed overall, I promise to buy and re-review if I see this beer again.

Bottle from Morrisons. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Raisin, chocolate and dark fruit aroma. Nuts, malts and chocolate dominate the taste. Malty-sweet finish. Quite nice.
