1849 – an iconic year for the brewing industry and now an iconic beer.
Joseph Holt’s 1849 is a dark, tempting best bitter brewed with a complex blend of choice malts and Golding hops. You’ll get an earthy, malty aroma that pours into a mahogany-amber ale. The body is refreshingly smooth with a slight nutty, toasted taste.

50 cl bottle @ HBF. Rated on 21.05.2010
Aroma is somewhat nutty with some caramel, English hops and toffee. Flavour has caramel malt, some toffee, nuts and grassy hops. Quite straightforward and boring.

50cl bottle, 4.5%. Clear, copper to red color, small creamy offwhite head. Nose of soft roasted malts. Aroma is soft on the dark malts and more prominent on the hoppy side. Bitterness has a major impact here, but not bitter as a pilsener or IPA, with a caramel sweetness. Dry finish. Sustained carbonation, light bodied, a dusty feel. OK Bitter.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 25 Nov 2008, drank 09 Jan 2008, which was cold wet and windy dat in Shropshire. Poured into a pint sleeved glass. Good colour, a deep terracotta red/amber with a weak biege head that tried to stay, but failed. Some malt, hops and fruits of the forrest are in the aroma, but it isn’t a heavy smelling beer. The flavour is a well balanced mix of the basic ingrediance that should be in good strong bitter. A little weak in the mouthfeel, not really watery, but not a thick feel either. No a bad beer, one I would have again but not look for.

50cl bottle, local store. Poured clear, copper color. Thin white head. Aroma was caramel malt and hops. Flavor fruity hoppy, with some malty tones.Ensds slightly bitter. A bit too light and could have been more bitter. But enjoyable nonetheless. Traditional bitter.
