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.

[Cask at Wetherspoons] A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is slightly hoppy. The flavor contains loads of apples as well as notes of citrus and grapes, that leads to a dry hoppy end. Not my beer.

Dark red brown. Wine and dried fruits (dates and figs), tobacco, malt aroma. Somewhat sweet initial flavour with some alcohol, very warm and full with a distinct, bitter (tobacco?) aftertaste. ^That was the review of the first sip, worth 3.8. After the whole bottle the alcohol and bitterness was too overwhelming and I haveto rat it a little lower.

Aroma of plums and raisins. Brown, no head. Flavor of plums, sugar, malt, and hops. Thinner than many barleywines I have had.

Pours a copper color with a white head. You can kinda smell hops in there but there is not much there. Flavor is about the same, i can get the hops but not much else, kinda watery. Excellent lacing to the beer. Neither good or bad really.
