Cask, half pint at Charlies Bar in Copenhagen. Dark body with a ruby tint. Fragile lacing on the glassware. Smell of dark malts and grassy hops. Dark, semi-sweet malts in flavour along with anise followed by dusty, bitter hops to the end, 13.11.2010.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Borough 4/02/10. Deep brown in colour with a slight, tan head. Sweetish without becoming cloying, with hints of treacle, chocolate, nuts and oak, before a soft finish. Excellent [3.8]. Bottle from a deli in Petersfield, Hants. Similar appearance to the cask version with slight carbonation. Rich and nutty aroma with some soft dark fruit and caramel. Sweet flavour, with dried fruits and a touch of spice, before a slightly roasty, dry finish. Very good [3.6]

Bottled. Rubyish amber/brown colour with mediumsized off-white fluffy head. Aroma is wooden, mild dark dry fruits along with caramel malt. Some mild bready notes as well as nuttyness. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. Has a bit sourish notes all the way through as well. A rather nice brown ale indeed.

Sweet hazelnut, malty brew, that was a bit too sweet for my liking. Still nuttiness and chocolate flavors played out well in the mouth. Lingering sweet, rich chocolately finish.
