Off-white head. A dark beer with deep red reflexes. The aroma consists of bread, caramel, melanoidins, and other bock-like stuff. A bit of acidity. Otherwise, it's fairly sweet with almost no bitterness. Full body, medium carbonation. Sticky.

Cask at Red Cow, Nantwich (not listed in RateBeer) It’s a sobering thought that I’ve been drinking this beer for at least 38 years ! Anyway, it pours a dark chocolatey brown with a tight cream head. Nose has just a little maltiness, and gives no hint of the wonders to come. Mouth is an exquisite blend of roast malts, molasses, dark fruits and just a hint of coffee. The finish is a boozy haze - with plenty of alcoholic warmth in the throat and stomach ! An absolute classic, to be sipped and savoured. Interestingly the description of it in the pub (which looked like official Brewery material) said it was a “strong mild” – which it definitely isn’t.

Schöne Flasche, in der Nase großartig, Weinbrand, Honig, Feigen, Datteln. Schön auch, wie sich das im Trunk fortsetzt, schwenkt mittig dann leicht ins nussig-erdige, Holzfass, durchgängige Süße, schön komplexe Klaviatur, tolles Ale!

A dark reddish-brown ale with a thick frothy lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light vinous character, dark fruits and treacle, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a sweet fruity caramel malt with light butterscotch, alcohol warmth, light licorice, very nice. Bottle from Fairprice, Changi Jewel, 6.90$S.
