Medium beige creamy head. Dark brown body. Faint roasty caramelly aroma with milky notes. Dryish-sweetish roasty resiny wooden taste with earthy caramel and roasted almonds notes. Mild and smooth mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry fruity roasty wooden aftertaste. Nice, but very ... mild. (0.25l cask, The Bow Bar, Edinburgh.)

Cask-conditioned at the Castle, Furnival Street, London 06/10/09. Dark brown with a decent tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, toffee and chocolate. Flavour had plenty more chocolate, some fruity sweetness and a roasty dry finish. Good.

Cask, Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Very dark brown colour. Fruity, chocolate malt, coffee aroma. Slipped down very smoothly. Fruit n’ nut chocolate flavour with more coffee and some nice grassy hop which balanced the malt very nicely. Tasty.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2006, Ramsgate. Black beer with ruby edges and bubbly beige head. Coffee choc aroma, good in mouth, then has sourness towards the end, with drying hop finish. Tasty mild with roasted malt flavours and touch of powdery charcoal. Would have this again.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A dark brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread. The flavor is roasted - almost smoked with a dry end, but a thin body.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Mahogany colour. Dryish with rich coffee flavours and notes of plums, madeira. Light modied with mild mouthfeel. Grassy hops leads to a salty finish with good bitterness. Despite it’s low gravity it has a wide array of flavours. A fantastic mild that works well both as a beer to sip on and analyse, and as a beer that is pleasant to quaff in quantity.
