Commercial Description:
Bulldog is an award winning strong ale that was first brewed for the export market in 1947. The traditional recipe and maturing process of "warm conditioning" which takes place after fermentation, has been deliberately retained to preserve the strength and quality. The beer is dry hopped and the distinctive mellow flavour of Bulldog Strong Ale allowed to develop slowly.

A clear light amber colored beer, with a light beige foamed head. The aroma is malty sweet with notes of fruit and caramel. The taste is bittersweet, with fruits, like apple. The aftertaste is a little bittersweet with some fruits.

Amber coloured beer with some average carbonation and a large off-white head. Roasted malty and light fruity aroma. Full creamy palate. Finish is bitter roasted, light coffee/ toffee touch. Nice balanced.
