Pours a clear red-brown colour with a mostly lasting, beige head. The aroma is malty, light roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of fruit. A moderately sweet malty taste, sweet dark roasted malts, chocolate and light liquorice flavours with a light roasted bitterness and a smooth mouthfeel.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Dark cola colour lasting cream head. Malty beer. Light liquorice flavour. Good condition good temperature. Not too bitter. Rather a good tasty dark ale. Nice enough.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A dark chestnut brown pour with a tight cream coloured head; aroma of roasted coffee beans; rather sweet in the mouth with a fresh coffee taste and an oaty body; then a thin dry finish

Cask at Picture House, Stafford – at 4.3%. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of plums. In the mouth it is bittersweet with a creamy texture, and malts immediately apparent. Flavour has dark fruits with traces of raspberries, bread rolls and nuts. Finish is fruity and slightly dry. It’s reasonable – or even a bit better than that !

Dark color with a thick beige head. Roasted aroma with a fine intensity. Pleasant fruity flavor with some roasted and coffee notes. A bit flat. It would have been very nice at 5% and a bit higher carbonation.

Pint at Henry Addingdon Canary Wharf. Warning accidental sour! Aroma is sharp green apple, granny smith and musty roast grains. Dark caramel brown colour with a fleeting loose tan head. Flavour is musty sour apple and crisp lemon and faint roast. Ballsack. Sharp sweet and sour palate.
