Dark Ruby
A very dark ruby-red ale that looks back to the dark ales of yesteryear. Roasted sweetness leads the flavour, and caramel added to the brew brings the toffee finish and the deep red colour. At 3.4% ABV it is easy drinking and sessionable, a traditional style with one foot in the past and the other planted firmly in the future.
