Mild roasted aroma, its chocolate malts are evident in the taste which are again mild. Smooth textured dark ale.

500ml (Bottle conditioned): best before the end of Oct 2012, poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard on 11 Aug 2012 during an IPA and Porter evening. Jet black with a full, deep tan coloured foaming head. Burnt malts everywhere in my bottle: so powerful hardly anything else was detectable. As the beer warmed is allowed some vanilla notes to express themselves but otherwise it was a ’peat bog’ of a beer (which I quite liked).

500ml (Bottle conditioned), best before the end of Dec 2012: poured in an Abbot Ale badged glass tankard during Aug 2012. Hazy dull golden colour with a medium to thinish head. Yeasty, earthy, hoppy, piney and grapefruity: that sums up the nose and taste: this is a good strong beer and it’s hop bitter finish helped to ensure you remembered it was an IPA you were drinking.

Bottle at Bruce’s Housewarming Party Tasting, London. Pours clear brown with a tight, beige foam head. Dusty, dry cocoa aroma with some dirt and faint dates. Light sweet flavor with dry cocoa, faint minerals, moderate roast, faint rubber. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Dry finish with burnt toast, dusty baking cocoa, light sweetness. OK. Not very exciting, but OK.

Hand pulled pint at the worst Wetherspoons I know (under where the Central Library, Birmingham used to be). Lunchtime on Saturday 7th July 2012. The beer poured a deep amber colour with an off-white head of foam sat proudly on top. Good thick lacing clung to the glass as the beer level fell after each gulp. Malts rule the roost in this semi-sweet smelling and tasting brew which I downed very quickly but had to move on, or i’d have had another and another etc, etc.

Cask at Post Office Vaults, Birmingham
Hazy golden color. Both aroma and flavor are lightly yeasty, the flavor is lightly cheesy too; besides that, it’s a plain Golden Ale.
The cheesy yeast character is probably unintended, the beer is anyway pleasant and different.

Bottle at Bruce’s Housewarming Tasting. It pours deep brown, with a thin beige head. The nose is dark fruit, roasted malt, prune, date, sugar, grape and vinous notes. The taste is caramel, cola, roasted malt, charcoal, cardboard and some balsamic vinegar. Medium body and low carbonation. Not bad.

Chelmsford Winter Fest. Clear but dark brown beer. Light brown suddy head. Malt and sweet bubblegum nose. Light palate, a little dry. Dark malt, bubblegum, a little fruit and herbal medicine. Initially this was a bit too much but perseverance pays off. Smooth, tasty and highly unusual.
