Description
Based in the heart of Stockport for almost two centuries, and owning around 260 tenanted and managed pubs, inns and hotels across the North West, ‘Robinsons’ is one of oldest and most respected names in British brewing history.
Robinsons took over Hartleys brewery in 1982, closing down the Ulverston plant in 1994 and transferring the Hartley brands to the Unicorn brewery. Robinsons bought the rights to the Ward brands in 2006 but subsequently sold some of those brands to Maxim Beer Co.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, online. Pours a clear gold, small white head, poor retention. Aroma of pale malts, flora, lemon but all very basic. Taste has a floral-pine note running through, quite dry and bitter, some citrus sweet notes to offset and a basic malt taste. Its quite light and moderate carbonation. Its a bit dull in truth but perfectly drinkable which sums up most Robinsons beers in my experience.

Bottle from Co-op. Pours a dark amber brown, small off white head. Aroma and taste is malty with light roast, caramel, raisins, pear, treacle, quite sweet. Flavour starts a bit non descript but then the layers build up to a nice malty and fruity finish with a tingle of spice. Medium to full bodied, chewy, zingy carbonation. It's a good beer although I prefer Old Peculiar in a similar style.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Another brew with my favorite one-eyed brewery cat on it. The dark brown coloured chocolate version. I like this one, not so extreme of taste like other chocolate beers. Its got the sweet bitternesh due the fine chocolate they used.
