30th June 2024 Clear deep amber brown beer, a good bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy dark malts, a typical Kernel dark malt profile - creamy dark malt, a mildly tangy chocolate and soft coffee. Modest red berry fruits on the back end along with whispers of citrus peel and esters. Not bad at all.

Keg draught at the Town Mouse, Newcastle. Mahogany, slightly thin, a smattering of beige/khaki head. Creamy chocolate notes on the muted aroma. Taste is nutty, dusty chocolate, some cherry. Sweetness fades, revealing an almost astringent bitterness. Light to medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. Impressive.

On tap at The Kernel, pours a deeo dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma is surprisingly potent for a dark mild, with deep roastiness, some earthiness, and crusty bready malt. Flavour is smooth and rich, with crusty bready malt, roasted notes, earthiness, and minimal soil. Man, I'd be sold on this style if they were all like this — damn. Deep, dry, not lifeless in any way. The key really helps; casks just neuter the style. Very good.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the Kernel taproom. Pours clear brown with golden highlights, and a small, creamy off-white head. Medium sweet flavour with rich brown bread, well-toasted biscuits, a hint of toasted toffee, earth, chocolate malts. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, subtle roast, more hearty bready malts, toasted sugars, low bitterness, British yeast, nips of berries. Super.
