Holden's Golden Special

Another Golden ale, and another winner! Holden's are a Black Country brewery, that I have not come across before. They are based in Dudley and are one of only 33 independent family brewers left in Britain, apparently. The family were first involved in the licensed trade at the end of the 19th century but did not own a brewery until 1915. Read more at http://www.holdensbrewery.co.uk.

Special is a dark amber premium beer with robust malty overtones and a bitter sweet full bodied taste. It is available on draught as well as bottled. Its ABV is 5.1%, but other technical details are not given I am afraid. Nevertheless, it is a very nice pint
