Pours a dark ruby brown colour with a small thin beige head. A roasted malt, coffee grounds and dark fruit aroma, ripe plum. A sweetish roasted malt taste, burned grain and ripe dark fruit flavours. A moderate bitterness in the finish nd and a light dryness from start to finish.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. An attractive dark chestnut colour with a loose cream head; earthy aroma with some deeply roasted malts; an immediate bitterness in the mouth, with a treacly sweetness; and a dry, malty finish with a trace of smoke. A pleasant winter ale.

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear dark red brown beer. Semi dry palate. Rich malt, almost dark malt in character. A little smoky and bitter. Okay dried fruit hops balance things out. Slight bitterness in the semi dry finish.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is berries, wood, caramel, floral and some mild resiny notes. Flavour is fruity and floral notes along with some caramelly and wooden notes. Balanced, and actually quite nice berryish notes in the aftertaste.

Cask at the Wallington and Croydon BF, London. Pours dark ruby with a light, off-white head. Bit of rich toast and light fruits on the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, dry and toasty malts, some burnt sugar. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Dark bread finish, some roasty malts, bit of dark fruit. So so. Drinkable.

Cask at the George, Croydon. It pours very dark brown, with a bubbly beige head. The nose is earth, wood and caramel. The taste is caramel, wood, light smoke, bitter chocolate, earth, tar, bitterness and light astringency, with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not bad, but unexciting.
