And thank you Brad. I like beers which reveal themselves gradually. They can be enjoyed both by a casual drinker, or at least in a casual setting, and someone who wants to take a more considered approach to the beer.

Thank you Tim. It’s meant to be a black session/drinking beer so I think it’s better to keep the bitterness in check so that it does not build up.

I thought it was great! The longer you drank it the more chocolate and spice flavours there were. After letting a sip settle, you wanted another. I might not drink it on a very hot day, but it would be a great spring/autumn.winter BBQ beer.

It’s quite dark but surprisingly crisp and clean. The hopping is well balanced, maybe a little light on the bittering but a nice gentle spicy finish.

Jim, if I say no I haven’t tried Gales Horndean Bitter does that mean you will agree to get me a bottle?
