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-conditioned at the Three Guineas, Reading 29/5/08. Deep brown in colour with a small, off-white head. Aroma had some caramel, nuts and red fruit. Flavour was sweet, with more caramel, before plenty of grassy hops in a long bitter finish. A lot going on in the glass but it didn’t quite come together for me.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with an immediately disappearing off white head. Light spiced to herbal aroma with a mild malt note. Flavour is dry bitter with a subdued spice and malt note. More spiced and towards herbal into the finish. Too spiced for my liking.

500ml bottle from Asda, Earley. CLoudy chestnut colour with a thick billowing tan head; roasted malt aroma; sweet and nutty with a long bitter finish. Rather plain and ordinary.

Bottled. Clear ruby beer with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity aroma with peach notes, and also hints of chocolate and coffee. Sweet and quite fruity flavour with a nice balance of black malt bitterness of that charcoal-y kind that I love.

Bottle picked up from the brewery in June 2005 (added from notes June 2005) Pours quite dark brown with quite a big head, malty aroma quite poky in strength nice roasty toasty flavours as well, quite intriguing beer very tasty.

Cask gravity at Catford BF 06. Deep brown/ruby with bubbly beige head. Odd meaty aroma, bit like pate. Quite a strong bitter, some malt, but a bit syrupy in the end.
