A warming, dark bitter ale, with a roasted malt taste. Very easy to drink for its strength. A strong mild.

Dark amber, aroma is nutty and caramelly, mellow sweet malts. Decent stiff but the alcohol comes in late.

(Cask at Angleterre, 20131229) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was small, long lasting, dense and almost white. Aroma had malts, molasses and English hops. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, caramel, sweet English hops, earth and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, grassy and bitter. A nice malty English style brew.

Medium beige head. Clear barely translucent dark brown body. Roasty earthy aroma with dusty burnt notes. Sweetish roasty nutty earthy taste with fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish minty fruity roasty aftertaste with spicy earthy oily rye crisp bread notes. Nice, vivid, and highly drinkable. (0.5l bottle, from House of Trembling Madness, York.)

A fine mild ale, not completely black in appearance but getting there. Has a medium to full body with plenty of mild but good tasting roasted notes

500ml Bottle:BBD 28 Jul 2013. Shared with the wife on 14 Jun 2013. Poured into two old ’Home Ales’ half-pint countryman tankards. Dark, very dark: ruby red hints in the light, good tanned head that lasted on both halves. Malty aroma and taste: charcoal and chocolate infused coffee, all rolled up in a caramel flavoured brown bread bap. Then soaked over night in alcohol, great! Smooth, complex and tasty, more malts obviously than hops, but the hops do keep the sweetness in check nicely. Good body feel and depth: a very pleasant beer all round.

Cask at the Yorkshire Terrier. Pours darkly ruddy orange with a tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, slight roast malt. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is lighter dark fruit with maybe a hint of chocolate. Or not. Finishes slightly on the sweet side with enough hop to keep it tasty. Nice.

500ml bottle - Dark mahogany body with a light tan head. Raisin, apple, cherry and pine in the aroma. Chocolate hops and malt dominate the taste, some light coffee. Nice bitter ending. Felt closer to a stout than a mild.
