I've only had this on draught at my local, Fanny's Ale House. It was OK but nothing special, but a cut above the usual "Brown Beer".
ReplyDeleteIt's slightly stronger in the bottle than on tap,it was a good example of the 'classic bitter' style (nutty & bitter).
ReplyDeleteClassic bitters are not my favourite style but it does it's job well.
I'm not sure of the marketing appeal of the name outside of Essex though?
