Dark, nutty and fruity. Quite similar to Young’s Special of yore (before that was emasculated).

HOney, toffe/caramel, nuts, slightly toasted malt, wholemeal bread. Light lemony finish, with a good amount of bitterness. Also a bit salty, pretty good on cask

Oct 25, 2005 [Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy dark amber beer with a small off-white lazing head. The aroma is nicely hoppy and the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted bread, and a bitter hoppy quite dry end. The mouthfeel is very smooth.
