What they say: A chestnut, tawny red Premium Ale. Brewed with Roasted Malts and English Fuggles Hops, to give a smoky, spicy hoppiness on the nose, leading to a molasses, nutty palate with a light fruity hop dryness.
Sadly, the only new ale that I got to try on the Isle of Wight, but it was at least enjoyable, although pretty potent at 4.8% A.B.V. Not one to slosh back all night - unless you like paracetamol!
