An old favourite of mine from a now closed brewery: this beer keeps getting resurrected for Wetherspoon Beer Festivals by Marstons (they being the buyers out of Mansfield brewery some years ago).
Hand-pulled pint on 27th Oct 2012 in the Telford Town centre Wetherspoons: Lovely rich brown body with a creamy coloured head.
Sweet malty molasses in the nose and taste: caramel with hints of toast and toffee.
Although fairly malty and sweetish it does have a hop semi-bitter undertone and is balanced in overal flavouring between the malts and hops.
They claim the recipe is the original: I doubt they've bought the same high quality ingrediants that were used back in 2000 and before, because this is a shaddow of the beer I remember, even though I enjoyed this new version.

Pint served into imperial pint glass by handpump.
Reading up on this ale, it was last brewed in 2000, but was recreated for the Wetherspoons Ale festival
A- Dark mahogany body, with 3 finger head, creamy lacing with good retention
S- Toasted malts, some plum and brandy notes, roasted nuts
T- Sweet in the beginning, with dark fruit notes, roasted malt notes come through in the finish to balance.
M - Low carbonation, full body.
D- A complex strong bitter, but well balanced in the sweetness and bitter qualities. Very easy to drink.
