A dark amber, strong ale, with a spicy aroma and a complex sweetness to complement the hoppy dry finish. This traditionally brewed strong English Ale is hopped with Goldings and Fuggles to give a spicy aroma. Full bodied, with a complex sweetness to complement the hoppy dry finish.

Bottle from Lifecraft, Cowes. Ruddy brown and clear with a small thin film of beige head. Floral aroma with woody notes, caramel and toffee, a bit of capsicum. Sweet heady taste followed by a surprisingly bitter note. The finish retains some of the sweetness with a prominent astringency. More caramel and a touch of plum in the aftertaste. Decent amount of carbonation.

Fra håndpumpe på The Mossy Well, Muswell Hill (London): klar rødlig kobber med ok skum. Igjen en god, maltdrevet øl hvor Fuggles og Goldings bidrar til den fine smaken med urter, jordtoner og hint av citrus. Lang og god ettersmak. God kropp med krydderfornemmelser og noe bær i anslaget.
