Bottle conditioned. Brewed in Cornwall to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar in 1805. It was at St Austell’s Blue Anchor that the King’s messenger carrying news of the battle first stopped for refreshment on his long journey from Cornwall to London. This premium bottle-conditioned ale has been uniquely brewed using our own Cornish Gold malt. Locally grown barley is traditionally malted using a special kilning process which develops a deeper intensity of colour and flavour than ordinary barley malt. Blended with both Styrian Golding and Cascade hops, the result is a deep bronze ale with a delicious rich biscuit flavour and a wonderful spicy aroma. Winner of bronze medal in the Brewing Industry International Awards.

"Bottle conditioned. Nice dark amber colour with a thick off-white head. Aroma has malt, fruit and spices. It is quite lively with nice slightly foamy medium mouthfeel, which is just a little short. Malty and fruity with a nice hoppy bitterness which carrys through to the finish. "
