Backstamp
Copper and amber in colour, Backstamp has a fruity, malty nose and a bittersweet, fruity, nutty taste. Arkell's brewed this 4% best bitter for the 15th anniversary of Best of British Beer, which sells it in bottles. The name borrows the backstamp that identifies the maker on pottery, a nod to Best of British Beer's base near Stoke on Trent.
