Sampled in cask (4.1%)! Available in tins and bottles (4.7%).
A dark amber ale with a decent head. Now, it must be observed that the pub that this was sampled in kept the beer slightly too cold so this may have had a detrimental effect on the taste. While not much in the nose, the flavour was a well rounded maltness with a gentle hoppy flavour. A nice balanced bitter after taste.
