Acorn Brewery Barnsley Bitter

Again this beer was enjoyed on St Georges day at 'The Castle'. Barnsley Bitter (3.8% abv) is a dark copper coloured bitter which has nice biscuity and chocolate malt aftertaste. I really like this beer and I can't really think of any other beers which have a similar taste. If I could compare it to anything it would be Gales HSB, but with more of a roasted edge. The beer is thick and sticky with shedloads of malt. There is a solid bitterness which is balanced by the roasted flavours coming thorugh. To top it off, this beer has a subtle fruity hop aroma that rounds off this beer. If anybody has the grain bill for this beer, please pass it forward!
