Strong, dark and intensely malty, this bitter has everything you need for a cold winters evening yet surprisingly easy to drink for a hot summers day.

Cask @ Sir Titus Salt, Bradford. Chestnut bitter with a small creamy head. Has a light grainy-malt nose and a relatively smooth light-grainy taste. Slips down the palate very well for its percentage.

(Bottle. Thanks to SaintMatty) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, bubbly head. Malty, roasted nose with caramel, dried fruit, raisins, dark rye bread and faint hints of left-over cold coffee. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, dried fruit, dark bread, figs, chocolate, hints of coffee and slightly dusty hops in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Quite tasty and well balanced. Would be interesting to try this cask conditioned.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Aroma is sour fruity, little toasted malts, caramel. Flavour is caramel and toasted malts, fruits, hint of coffee. Fairly bitter finish. I can see why this beer is liked, but it just doesnt do it for me.

clear brown, smooth light brown head. looks pretty good. Nutty and dry caramelly aroma. Well balanced. Flavor is nutty, caramelly, sweet malty, bitter, dry. Very well tasting Premium Bitter. A Bit to the sweet side, but lots of bitterness to back it up.
