Frothy head, dark brown color. Malt and licorice both in aroma and flavor. Just a hint of bitterness and some chocolate. Thin to medium bodied. Loads of flavor but somewhat lacking in balance.

Bottle from Kris Wines. A bit tangy, but for an old ale, not out of place. Initial sweet aroma, recalls a cola. Taste puts it more into context, sweet, but with a nice malt profile behind it. Seems light, sweetness lingers. Hoping for a bit more bitterness or substance, like Theakston. Not so, just sweet, without the oomph.

Rating from bottle collection/historic notes. Bottle from a local supermarket. Poured dark ruby brown with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, treacle, and dark fruits. Medium plus sweetness and mellow roasted bitterness. Full bodied, slick texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe [160115]
Dark copper brown, clear, frothy off white head, good lacing
Aroma of caramel, some toasted malts, dab of rust, hint of coffee roast
Taste of caramel, some spicy earthy hops, soft toasted malts, slight dark bitter chocolate, twiggy hops, dab of roast, slight dark fruits
Palate - Medium carb and body, smooth, soft bitter roast. Finish as main flavour, fairly bitter earthy tail
Overall - Less complex that I remember on cask, seems less malty.
