Who’s tired of celebrating after 250 years? Kick off January with this deep amber beer, with its toasted nutty aroma, spicy hop perfume and a hint of lingering malt. Lovely with Haggis.
Hops: Fuggles.

Cask. A nut brown beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and odd spices, leading to a dry nutty and toffeeish finish. Not me.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Had this on Burn’s Night along with haggis, tatties and neaps along with a double Glenmorangie. Deep chestnut with creamy head. Yeasty nose, some nice dark malts in mouth. Finish is quite soft with some tingly hops. Needs more body and backbone but drinkable enough. Re-rate at the same pub a year lager. Just too mcuh diacetyl on this, butter and caramel on aroma, drinkable enough in the middle, some hop and matl on finish. 2.6/5
