ABBEYDALE
Matins 3.6%

Very pale straw-coloured beer with herby aromas. The flavour is
pleasant and grassy with hints of green peppers and a moderate
bitterness. It has lots of body for its gravity and is a crisp, fresh
and clean tasting; an excellent session beer.

Absolution 5.3%

Mid-straw coloured beer with aromas of tropical fruit and
mangoes. The beer is sweet all the way through, balanced by some
bitterness at the finish. Flavours are fruity with toffee

Very dark ruby ale with a rich creamy head. Aromas of dark
chocolate, coffee and burnt toast. Full bodied and warming with strong
flavours of bitter chocolate, fruitcake, raisins and hints of cherries.
A lingering bitter finish.

Last Rites 11%

Superbly strong and full-bodied ale which is very pale for its
strength. It has aromas full of toffee and caramel. The flavour is
smooth and sweet with warming alcohol and lots of toffee, candied peel
and dried citrus fruits. The beer is quite vinous with lots of depth
and lingering flavours. Dangerously more-ish.
