Extremely smooth strong dark ruby mild. Subtle roast and malt flavours fill the taste, with a mellow sweetish finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol, 14/04/09. Dark brown in colour with reddish undertones. Big red fruit aroma, with some dark chocolate. Flavour was sweetish, with some more fruit, roasted malts and a soft, vaguely bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at County Hotel (JDW) Ashford, I certainly agree with SilkTork’s 2nd review when experienced as cask. Dark ruby in colour, the nose is chocolate and toffee in nature, with some coffee. Strangely over carbonated on the mouthfeel, but the finish is excellent with good chocolate malt. Slightly grainy and roasted, but I really liked it. Definitely worth having a 2nd pint
