Pours a dark, clear amberbrown. Creamy white, persistant head. Scent is very mild indeed. Traces of caramel malts? Taste is fairly full, very creamy, touch bitter over crystal malts. All in fine balance - lovely and very drinkable. Classic mild. Love this beer !

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. This was one of the beers that really made me question Protz's judgement. Was still drinking pints at the time and left most of it. Purchased at their Soho pub.
