(Bottle 50 cl) I’ve had "Dirty Dick" and "Old Nick" - here the two seem to have merged into "Old Dick". Dark orange/light brown with a thick - almost stiff - and very rich head. Lovely aromatic and nicely balancing with nutty, malty notes and the Challenger hops. Dry and very drinkable. Excellent bottle conditioned English Strong Ale - if you can forgive the naive and primitive label. 230302

Plummy.
