Cask at teh Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. An opaque black pour with a thin beige head, and a dim tawny glint when held to the light; the aroma has some light honey; the mouthfeel is smooth but rather thin, and slightly sweet with a honey taste that isn’t overpowering; rounded off with a dry floury finish. This falls short of being a decent mild, and also of being a decent honey ale.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - deep brown to black. Some nice suds on the top. Nose - toffee and floral honey. Some sweet brown bread. Taste - light lemon with some of the honey and malt kicking in afterwards. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly decent finish. Overall - nice blends of malts and sweetness.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe [150115]
Dark caramel brown, clear, thin off white rim around glass, no head
Aroma of caramel, quite fruity malts, dab of sweet chocolate, touch of raisin, nice soft sweet fruits, mellow toasted malts
Taste of caramel, mellow toasted malts, maybe getting a hint of honey, touch of chocolate, nice caramel malts, good subtle flavours
Palate - Very little carb, almost flat (but not a problem here), medium body, smooth texture. Finish is a wee dry, more bitter toasted malts in the linger, slightly earthy
Overall - Good drinking, rather flat but doesn’t detract

Cask at the Bridge House, Belfast. Deep copper colour, almost black, with a creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt with hops and spices and a hint of licorice. Light to medium body with a creamy feel to it. Lightly sweet with a nice roasty flavour and a bitter finish. Well balanced and very pleasant. (2011-06-10)
