Cask at Yew and Ewe, Brookland. Black in colour, chocolate malt on nose, almost petroly. Excellent malts with grainey burnt malt finish. Some acidity and goodish length finish. One of my favourite dark milds. Wonderful, can drink it all night as it is only 3.4% Re-rate cask handpull at Yew Tree Inn Barfrestone. Even better than before. Excellent choc/coffee aroma but just gorgeously mild. Body is satisfying and the finish is long and exciting. So much flavour for a beer so weak

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Almost black. Coffee aroma. Medium sweet with creamy, filling mouthfeel. Notes of licorice and chocolate. Solid and extremely flavourful for a 3.4% beer. Salty, bitter finish. What a session beer!!

Re-rate, cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pale amber. Aroma of hay and toffee. Medium dry with soft rounded mouthfeel. Light bodied but firm and generously hoppy. The finish has some herbal spices that fades out into noteworthy, almost resiny bitterness. Very flavourful for a 3.7% beer.
Old rating, cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, June 2004.
Pale amber. Dry and light bodied. Salty hops and vague soapiness. Bitter finish. Unrefined and not in good condition. (5/4/4/2/9)

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Amber colour. Flowey nose with a hint of toffee. Sweet and malty with clean mouthfeel and a salty caramel finish. Does have a character of itโs own.

The aroma is slightly roasted. The color is deep red and it has light brown head. The flavor is lovely roasted, with a slightly sour background combined with notes of chocolate and roasted malt.

The aroma is very fruity with notes of chocolate, lemon, and spices. The color is a beutiful golden with a fine beige head. The flavor is very roasted, very dry, very flowery - primarily elderflower, and very hoppy. It gives a sting to the tongue while drinking. Quite an interesting beer.

This looks better than it tastes. Something's missing here. Thin with not much flavor. Considering the color, I would expect something from the roasted malts, but it isn't here.

Paid $2.99 for a 500ml bottle. Nice burnt-orange color, very luscious small fluffy head. Great lacing. Nice sweet scent that I can't quite place. Wow... nice, creamy, smooth taste.... did I mention creamy? How about creamy? This is damn good. I have never seen this beer before, but if I see it again, I'm gonna buy it right away. Damn good beer!!! I wish I would have gotten more than just one. additional notes: I noticed that many people say to drink this at room temperature- what i found best was to let this beer chill about 20 minutes in the fridge, and then drinking- so slightly cooler than room temperature was my favorite, but not cold!

I wasn't impressed with this beer at all. It looked good, but fell short on aroma and flavor. Just not much going on here or it didn't survive the trip across the pond. A tad thin. Nothing else to write about this one.
