Tasting Notes
In the yard, a dray rumbles over cobbles. A modern expression of a traditional style brown ale. Walnut in colour with chewy toffee malt and soft, sweet undertones of anise. Spicy, dry rye malt adds grand
complexity. A blend of high bitterness UK and US hops provide aromas of resinous pine and sharp citrus notes in intricate balance.
