This strong, nutty, full strength dark beer has built a cult following amongst real ale aficionados since it was first brewed for bottles in 1949. The oaky and roasted flavour, with its deep and distinctive taste, make it a cask-conditioned beer with a real difference.

A 500ml bottle from Bitter Virtue, Southampton. A lovely dark fruity roasty proper winter ale in the middle of a wet & windy summer.

Rocky off white head on a dark reddish brown body. Malt, Coca-Cola, sarsaparilla & berry aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a sticky back. Malt, demerara, chocolate, plum & raisin tastes with a big fruity finish. That's a fine tasty brew.

Cask @ Ferry Inn, Salcombe. Very dark red with a bubbly head. It has sweet tasting dark malts and is a tad overbearing in this respect.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 19. Thanks Jeremiah for bringing this. Pours a clear deep mahogany, frothy pale tan head. Aroma of nutty rye, brown bread. Taste is twiggy ryebread, distant liquorice, treacle, soft amber malt, medium to light bodied. Fine, straightforward nutty amber.
