Marston's Owd Rodger

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to copper-brown hue, clear and bright in the glass. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The carbonation is moderate and even, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rich, dried fruit notes—raisins, plums, and candied orange peel—supported by a warm malt sweetness. English whole-leaf hops contribute subtle herbal and earthy nuances that frame the fruit without dominating. A gentle alcohol warmth rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with full, rounded malt presence and that same dried-fruit character noted on the nose. Mid-palate brings moderate bitterness and a hint of woody spice from the hops, balanced against residual sweetness. The finish turns increasingly dry and bittersweet, with tannin-like astringency building toward the swallow.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is long and persistently bittersweet, with lingering malt and hop bitterness that dries the palate. Warming alcohol notes emerge gently in the fade.
