A smooth, dark, mild bitter with a biscuit aftertaste. Despite the colour, it is light and easy drinking beer.

Bottle at the Castle Inn, Hornby. Appearance - opaque black but with some red chinks around the edge. A thin fawn head that disappears quickly. Nose - nuts and molasses. Taste - more molasses and hazelnuts. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - solid if unexciting.

500ml bottle, into an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard at home on 5th Dec 2015. Deep ruby body, wispy to non-existent head in 30 seconds. Deep malty nose and taste with a light body depth, Mild like in nature and on a blind tasting that would have been my guess, even though the label claims it is ’ A smooth, dark, mild bitter’. I found more vanilla than biscuit in the flavour, again the label claims ’a biscuit aftertaste’ but it had no such thing according to my palate. Liked it though! Very pleasant, pity about the head.

Cask at Old Friends, Ulverston. Brown, very translucent with a khaki head. Chocolate malt, coal, forest fruits in the aroma. Sweet start to the taste, but a bitter/sour note takes over quickly. Very thin palette. I love a good mild, but this is only average really.
