Bottled (BB 07/2009)
Very dark ruby color, good tan head. Coffee, prune and caramel in the nose. Light palate, but not that light than expected from 3.6 % beer. Roasted flavor, slightly caramelly - very dunkel-like brew. Oily mouthfeel giving sort of low alcohol feeling.

Half pint, cask version hand pulled at Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. See-through, dark brown body with only some dimples at the surface. Toffee-like aroma. The flavour is dominated by soft caramel sweetness offset by hints of apples. Flat palate, but still a rather well made Mild ale (04.05.2008).

[cask from Back of Beyond, Reading] Interesting one this - a golden-coloured ale, initially floral with a hint of smoke. Then one of those dusty stable type of hops flavours. Slight hint of citrus and rather bitter in the aftertaste, but overall not bad.
