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 that I picked up from Morrisons, Aylesbury, Bucks, consumed 22-07-09 Pours a rich ruby colour with a beige head. Sticky malty and toffee on nose. The taste is toffee and sticky dark fruits with dates and prunes dominating, there is warmth from the alcohol and a gentle but nonethelesss steady bitterness. I haven’t checked my Suffolk Strong rating but I would hazard a guess that there are some strong similarities between these two beers. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov14 3.5
