A traditional Welsh Dark – deep tawny brown in colour, with an aroma of toffee and caramel. This beer is full bodied, yet suprisingly light and refreshing – a proper thirst quencher.

Ingredients : Brecon water, Maris Otter Pale Ale malt, Crystal malt, Caragold malt, Malted Oats; Sovereign, Pilgrim and Admiral hops

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 11/2/2019. Dark brown with a thin, off-white, head. A malty beer, with some brown sugar, bready notes, a hint of leafy hop and gentle finish. Fine.

Half-pint, cask ale at Pen & Wig. Shared with Finn. A deep rustic shade to a dark coloured body. Low beige head, upper part lacing. Moderate smell of dark caramel. malt-driven taste character of dark bread and caramel malts, some hints of dark berries as well. Mildly roasted finish. Satisfying. (Newport 03.10.2018).

Murky brown with a bubbly / frothy off-white head. Pretty one-dimensional dark mild, extremely mild with not a great deal going on at all - sweet, sugary malt with a sprinkling of dark fruits.
