Keg on tap at CASK Pub & Kitchen on 26th March 2011. Brown with thinnish white foam ring. Yeasty aroma with light citric tinge. Fruity and quite lemony liquid with spicy notes and a touch of smoke. Dry on tongue. Short, quite light end with cheesy notes and a fairly citric dry final interlude. Dry mouthfeel. Re-rating: Draft at BrewDog, Camden Town on 25th August 2012. Brown with thin offwhite film head, diminishing. Malty, slightly soapy inviting aroma, not overly sweet. Maltfest in the mouth - rich and intense maltiness - biscuits and hazelnuts abound. Malty finish with touches of delicate bitterness. Zingy but not overcarbonated.

0.5l bottle (#547). This one pours a dark brown cloudy body with solid off-white creamy head. Aromas of chocolate, sweet malt, some dark fruits and a nutty twist. Lively carbonation - almost to much and thin bodied. Think I perhaps served it a bit to cold. As the temperature raises you get a more and more clear grassy bitterness from the hops, and the roasted malts really sticks itself to the top of your mouth Tastes cocoa, cloves with a almost synthetic cappuccino flavor and a grassy dryish finish from the hops. The synthetic flavor fades and you get the impression that you just had a nice commercial brown ale.

50cl bottle. Poured cloudy dark brown color with a beige white head that stays for a while. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Flavor is more coffee, chocolate and some burntness. Smooth palate. Slightly dry finish. Nice and enjoyable, lots of coffee in both aroma and flavor.

Bottle. Dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of malt, toffee, nuts and chocolate. Light mouth feel, still a rather good taste of nuts, chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Mild acidity in the dry finish.

Thickset, huge light-greige head, pretty stable; opaque dark-brown beer. Chocolate malt, roasted and lots of sweet coffee. Capuccino? Taste: sourish coffee - does that exist? Milk chocolate from sour milk? Still, it ain’t half bad. Some hidden esters, retronasal. Well-bodied but not thick. Bit grist slickness. Rather sourish compared to commercial brown ales. But historically, this one might actually be more authentic.
