A Darkish, very ‘Northern’ bitter. Malty, yet sharp with hoppy citrus finish. Rather roasted flavour with big taste for abv.

Dark Mild Bronze Medal Winner
SIBA North of England 2005
Very northern character, an intensely dark, traditional best mild. Sweetish and liquoricy but with more body than a standard mild. Bitterness comes through in the lasting aftertaste.

Felix 4.2%
|
|
Dry, pale and remarkably hoppy with a keen nose, yet rounded and smooth. Lingering finish. Very big taste for abv and very quenching summer style.

Old Ben 4.3%
|
|
Pale, remarkably clean tasting, crisp, little scent, strong hop and no sweetness. Lingering dry aftertaste with European herbal note. Long, dry finish.

Paddy O'Hackers Genuine Irish Stout 4.6%
|
|
A rich, very dark Irish stout, strong initially with little bitterness and fruit predominating along with sweetish coffee notes. Mellow into a long, dry and full finish.

Older Empire IPA 5.5%
|
|
A genuine India Pale Ale in the 1820's style with strong hop aroma and flavour. Initial tasting belies its strength which becomes quickly apparent from its robust malty and bitter notes. As easydrinking as the new wave of pale, floral bitters, more richly satisfying though.

Overall Winner CAMRA Accrington Beer Festival 2003
Overall Winner Great Harwood Beer Festival 2003
Complex, award winning dark copper ale with a robust mouthfeel almost approaching an old ale but less cloying. Sweetish, but the malt does not cancel out the long hoppy satisfying finish
