Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker is back at The Blackbird for a limited time.

A characterful Yorkshire bitter with an inviting copper-amber colour and gentle citrus and fruit aromas. The flavour is smooth and rounded, led by biscuit-like malt notes and a clean, balanced bitterness.

A proper Yorkshire bitter that's earned its place at the bar.
