Can thanks to my bro. It pours clear dark brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is sweet, candy sugar, caramel, liquorice, dark fruits, plum, prune, raisin, cherry cola and Dr Pepper. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, roasty, toasty, plenty of dried fruits, figgy pudding, plum, prune, raisin, cola cubes, Dr pepper, cola, cola cubes, fruit cake and a kick of boozy warmth with a tangy dark fruits finish. Medium+ body and fine to moderate carbonation. Wouldn't call it a mild exactly, but it's rather nice.

Can ordered from Ghost Whale, Putney. Aroma has liquorice and coffee (not OTT) with sugared berries (like my Gran before she'd even tasted the Crumble). Opaque dark brown. Light beige head recedes to the rim. Tangy liquorice, coffee and roast. Molasses and berries. But it's the bitterness that is most prominent. Medium bodied... is. Thin cream. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. No complaints here for whatever it is.
