I can't help you with the Wards, but Brewing beers like those you buy by Dave Line has a very large number of recipeis for all types of bitters. The book is rather dated, and many of the recipies sound terrible; but there are some good ones in there, but all the best ones come from down south:p

Jennings!! Weren't they recently bought up by another brewery? I never had the one you're asking about, but had Sneck Lifter and Cumberland ale, both were pretty good too!! I think Beer Captured has a recipe for Sneck Lifter .
 
Thanks guys but i have plenty off recipe's for bitters ect..."book by dave line"yep got that one too(don't rate him much though"
I would specifically like WARDS BEST BITTER nothing else will do im afraid.:(

I think you're fooked luv! (metaphorically speaking of course;) )
Your best bet is to find a commercial brew/home brew recipe that seems to fit the bill and modify it to suit - i'm trying to nail a barley wine clone recipe that's still in production with no success!!!!
 
i, it look's that way caplan don't it?
Thank's for the link D@VID,enjoyed reading that,yep thats the beer i remember!smell's and all.and it's true the new bottle'd beer dun't have the same affect thankfully.
