440ml can from Home Bargains. Dark brown pour with moderate sized beige head, leaves nice top and lacing Aroma has sweet malts, toffee, molasses, some liquorice; all subtle aromas but pleasant. Taste is sweet with light roasted notes which run through, chocolate, liquorice, some metal. Light to medium bodied. More flavoursome than I was expecting for a cheap 4 pack from Home Bargains. However, it has a rising sweetness with not enough bitter notes in the finish to offset and therefore at times was a bit sickly. I have images of teens in parks drinking this for the sugar effect. I know CAMRA are worried about the style dying out, maybe they could encourage it. The Alco-Mild, its the future!
