A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.
Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Copper colour with firm, foamy head. Nose is malty, fruity with a bitter-sweet hoppiness and hints of sewage (in a weird but nice way). Taste is fruity (hints of dried apricots) and malty with a metallic, earthy, bitter and dry finish. Complex.
