440 ml can purchased at Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is black with slight burgundy tones, with a pretty 1 1/2 inch khaki head. Nice settling on the pour. The aroma is lightly roasted, cracker malt along with a touch of milky sweetness. The taste is mildly caramel sweet, milky, then turning to the dry roast malt of the nose. Flavors play together nice. The palate is light to thin bodied, lower fine carbonation and the roasty dry finish. Light bodied without being watery. This was an enjoyable beer, particularly midday (ok, late morning) watching the footie.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is some caramel malt. Flavor is about the same. Some caramel malt maybe a touch of hops and a bitter aftertaste. Very thin but I know they were going for an old school style english bitter. Good thing I live in the times of better crafted brew.

Bottle at Cockney Pub, Århus
Dark brown color, almost black. Thin creamy layer of foam. Light aroma of roasted malt. Strong flavor of roasted malt, too much burnt malt and ashes, very dry mouthfeel. Too extreme for me, in the wrong direction. The final is very ashy.
