A rebelliously dark copper ale with hints of toffee and a slightly fruity bitter-sweet aftertaste.
Our take on this old recipe is inspired by the Hertfordshire Highwayman, James Snooks (1761-1802) who became the last man in England to be hanged for highway robbery on 11th March 1802.
Snooks, a resident of Hemel Hempstead, Herts, was convicted of robbing a post boy on Boxmoor Common, and the scene of his crime became the place of his execution and subsequent grave. A memorial plaque was placed there in 1904, and Snooks had a bar named after him in the town.
