Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular
Complex, award winning dark copper ale with a robust mouthfeel approaching an old ale, but less cloying. Sweetish, but the malt does not cancel out the long hoppy satisfying finish. CAMRA Accrington overall winner 2003.

Cask at National Winter Ales Festival, Manchester 2008 Dark brown in colour with roasted malts and some coffee notes. This was a pretty decent drop, quite porter like, and quite a filling beer. The alcohol was well hidden but started to be noticeable at the end. Not bad.
