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.

May 2012: 500 ml bottle conditioned, new at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 5%. Beautiful copper colour, moderate off-white head, nice lacing. Lovely aroma of fruity hops (Styrian Goldings and Cascade), also hints of spruce, caramel and ripe berries. The medium sweet flavour has a nice balance between the malts and hops, notes of caramel, toffee, sweet biscuits and ripe berries. A little more bittering hops in the finish would not hurt, but this is a very enjoyable ale as it is.

500 ml bottle. Poured a hazy deep amber / old copper colored ale with a one finger medium beige creamy foamy head that had an excellent retention. Active carbonation. Poor lacing. The aroma is heavy resinous hops, dark ripe fruits, raisins. The flavour is rich, slight grainy caramelized malts, biscuits, bready, vinous, toffee, aromatic hops, notes of licorice and pepper. The mouthfeel is creamy and very smooth. The balance maltiness / bitterness is a success. This medium bodied ale has a long hoppy bitter finish. With this superb product on board, I immediately join the Navy !

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.
