Just when I thought I couldn't love Yorkshire Beer (and the Great Yorkshire Brewery) more than
I already do, what should come along, but another gem. At 6% this is a delightfully strong bitter, but I, for one, would happily drink it as a session beer. The aroma is extremely pleasant, full of roasted malt and dark sticky fruit. It is extremely smooth, with a bitter malt flavor that comes remarkably close to a sort of sour mash taste. That having been said, this flavor is not overpowering, and the balance is exceptional. It was champion beer of Britain in 2000 and it is easy to see why. While it may not be to everyone's cup of tea, I shall certainly be drinking it again. 8/10 - and the need to find a local supplier for more beers from the Great Yorkshire Brewery!
